{Mat 1:1-17 & Luk 3:23-28 Mary's Genealogy.}

1:17 Therefore, all the generations from Abraham until David were fourteen generations; and from David until the exile of Babylon, were fourteen generations; and from the exile of Babylon until the Christ, were fourteen generations.

{Mat 1:18-25 Nazareth 5 BC; no parallel.}

1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: for* his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found holding a child in her womb {i.e. pregnant} from the Holy Spirit.

1:19 Now Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man and not willing to disgrace her, planned to divorce her secretly.

1:20 But when he was contemplating these things, behold, a messenger of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary to you, as your wife for* what was born {Or: conceived} in her is from the Holy Spirit.

1:21 Now she will be bearing a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for* he will be saving his people from their sins.

1:22 Now this whole thing has happened, in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

1:23 Behold, the virgin will be holding a child in her womb {i.e. pregnant} , and will be bearing a son, and they will call his name Immanuel'; which is, after being translated, 'God with us. ' {Isa 7:14, 8:8, 10}

1:24 Now having been aroused from his sleep, Joseph did as the messenger of the Lord commanded him and took his wife to him;

1:25 and did not know her intimately until she bore her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus.
