Matthew 1:19 in Context — Matthew 1

17 De maneira que todas as gerações desde Abraão até Davi são catorze gerações; e desde Davi até o exílio babilônico catorze gerações; e desde o exílio babilônico até Cristo catorze gerações.

18 E o nascimento de Jesus Cristo foi assim: estando sua mãe Maria desposada com José, antes que se ajuntassem, ela foi achada grávida do Espírito Santo.

19 Então José, seu marido, sendo justo, e não querendo a expor à infâmia, pensou em deixá-la secretamente.

20 E ele, pretendendo isto, eis que um anjo do Senhor lhe apareceu em sonho, dizendo: José, filho de Davi, não temas receber Maria, tua mulher, porque o que nela está concebido é do Espírito Santo.

21 E ela dará à luz um filho, e tu chamarás seu nome Jesus; porque ele salvará seu povo de seus pecados.
