16 Y Jacob engendró á José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, el cual es llamado el Cristo.

17 De manera que todas las generaciones desde Abraham hasta David son catorce generaciones: y desde David hasta la transmigración de Babilonia, catorce generaciones: y desde la transmigración de Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce generaciones.

18 Y el nacimiento de Jesucristo fué así: Que siendo María su madre desposada con José, antes que se juntasen, se halló haber concebido del Espíritu Santo.

19 Y José su marido, como era justo, y no quisiese infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente.
