Matthew 1:17 Context
15And Eliud begate Eleazar, and Eleazar begate Matthan, and Matthan begate Iacob. 16And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, who is called Christ. 17So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourteene generations: and from Dauid vntill the carying away into Babylon, are foureteene generations: and from the carying away into Babylon vnto Christ, are fourteene generations. 18¶ Now the birth of Iesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Ioseph (before they came together) shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost. 19Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily.
