They lived at the time when the people were exiled to Babylon.12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel,13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor,14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud,15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob.16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called Christ the Anointed.17 So there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David until the exile to Babylon, fourteen generations from the exile until the Messiah.18 The birth genesis: originbeginning of Jesus Christ was as follows: His mother Mary had been promised to Joseph in marriage. But before they were married, Mary realized that she was pregnant by Holy Spirit.19 Her husband Joseph was an honorable man and did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to break the marriage agreement with her secretly.20 Joseph had this in mind when God’s angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him: »Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by Holy Spirit.21 »She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus »Jehovah is salvation« , because he will save his people from their sins.«22 All this happened so that what God spoke through the prophet came true:23 »The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,« which means: »God God-like one is with us.« (John 1:18)24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of God had commanded him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.25 He did not have marital relations with her before she gave birth to a son. Joseph named the child Jesus.
