Matthew 1:19 in Context — Matthew 1

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.

20 Y pensando él en esto, he aquí el ángel del Señor le aparece en sueños, diciendo: José, hijo de David, no temas de recibir á María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es.

21 Y parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESUS, porque él salvará á su pueblo de sus pecados.
