The Anxiety of St Joseph

Saint Matthew - Chapter 1

The Anxiety of St Joseph. J-J Tissot

[16] Jacob autem genuit Joseph virum Mariae, de qua natus est Jesus, qui vocatur Christus.
And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

[17] Omnes itaque generationes ab Abraham usque ad David, generationes quatuordecim : et a David usque ad transmigrationem Babylonis, generationes quatuordecim : et a transmigratione Babylonis usque ad Christum, generationes quatuordecim.
So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

Saint Joseph

[18] Christi autem generatio sic erat : cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto.
Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.

[19] Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam.
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum tutus semper sum:
