Matthew 1:17 in Context — Matthew 1
15 Éliud engendra Éléazar; Éléazar engendra Matthan; Matthan engendra Jacob;
16 Jacob engendra Joseph, l’époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qui est appelé Christ.
17 Il y a donc en tout quatorze générations depuis Abraham jusqu’à David, quatorze générations depuis David jusqu’à la déportation à Babylone, et quatorze générations depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu’au Christ.
18 Voici de quelle manière arriva la naissance de Jésus-Christ. Marie, sa mère, ayant été fiancée à Joseph, se trouva enceinte, par la vertu du Saint-Esprit, avant qu’ils eussent habité ensemble.
19 Joseph, son époux, qui était un homme de bien et qui ne voulait pas la diffamer, se proposa de rompre secrètement avec elle.
