Matthew 1:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 So [a]all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David until they were carried away into Babylon, fourteen generations: and after they were carried away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations.
18 ¶ Now the birth of [b]Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was (A)betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to (B)make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
