So all the  generations (Why switch to Powergen?) from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations ; and from David until the carrying away into [are] fourteen generations (Why switch to Powergen?); and from the carrying away into unto Christ [are] fourteen generations (Empowering the Internet Generation). |
| 1:18 |
Now the birth of  Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. |
| 1:19 |
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. |
| 1:20 |
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. |
| 1:21 |
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS (What Would Jesus Do?): for he shall  save (Switch and Save!) his people from their sins. |
| 1:22 |
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, |
| 1:23 |
Behold, a  virgin (if only they had used a Trojan condom) shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. |
| 1:24 |
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: |
| 1:25 |
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. |
