| 16 Jacob and begot the Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, that being named Anointed. |
Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary – Because this uses the word "begat" it establishes beyond any doubt that this geneology is that of Joseph. In Luke Chapter 3 we have the geneology of Mary. There the phrase "the son of.." is used. We know of at least 3 ways to be "the son of" someone, i.e., by birth, by adoption and by marriage (son-in-law.) In this account it is strictly by birth. |

|
| 17 All then the generations from Abraham till David, generations fourteen; and from David till the removal Babylonian, generations fourteen; and from the removal of Babylonian till Anointed, generations fourteen. |
|

|
| 18 Of the now Jesus Anointed the birth thus was. Being espoused for the mother of him Mary to the Joseph, before either came together them, she was found in womb having by a spirit holy. |
|
| 19 Joseph and the husband of her, a just man being and not willing her to publicly expose, was inclined secretly to release her. |
|
| 20 These but of him thinking on, lo a messenger of a Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying: Joseph, son of David, not thou shouldst fear to take Mary the wife of thee; that for in her being found, by a spirit is holy; |
|
| 21 she shall bear and a son, and thou shalt call the name of him Jesus; he for shall save the people of him from the sins of them; |
|
| 22 (This and all was done, so that might be fulfilled the word spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: |
|
| |
|
| 23 Lo, the virgin in womb shall have, and shall bear a son, and they shall call the name of him Emmanuel; which is being translated, with us a God.) |
|
| 24 Being aroused and the Joseph from the sleep, he did as commanded to him the messenger of a Lord, and took the wife of him, |
|
| 25 but not he knew her till she brought forth the a son of her the first born; and called the name of him Jesus. |
