14. Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud.
15. Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.
16. Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.
17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18. Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19. Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20. But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Miriam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
