Matthew 1
1 This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.
then Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, then Perez begot Hezron, then Hezron begot Ram;
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,
then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
