A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers;
Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
3 And Judah begat Phares and Zara from Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

6 and Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her who was the wife of Uriah;
and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 and Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 and Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; Joram begat Hozias;
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
9 Hozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; Achaz begat Hezekiah;
and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
11 and Josiah begat Jechonias and his brothers in the captivity of Babylon.
and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 And after the captivity of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorababbel;
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 Zorababbel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
14 and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Acheim; Acheim begat Eliud;

15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, from whom Jesus, who is called Christ, was born.
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away secretly.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 And he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit;
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for He will save His people from their sins.
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, the virgin shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
