1 This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the 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 begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren,
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

and Aram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon,
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
and Jesse begat David the king, and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias,
7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
and Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia, and Abia begat Asa,
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Ozias,
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekias,
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,
and Hezekias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon, and Amon begat Josias,
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon,
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
and after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
and Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,
and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom is born 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 to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ 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 generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from 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 willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.
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.
And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from 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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Now the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,
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”).
“A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which is being interpreted, 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 when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife;
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
