Matthew 1
Tap a verse to understand it.
1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: 16And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations. 20But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. 21And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
