< Matthew 1 >
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
[The] scroll of the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.
2 Abraham brings forth Isaac; and Isaac brings forth Jacob; and Jacob brings forth Judas and his brethren;
Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,
3 And Judas brings forth Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares brings forth Esrom; and Esrom brings forth Aram;

4 And Aram brings forth Aminadab; and Aminadab brings forth Naasson; and Naasson brings forth Salmon;
and Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
5 And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab; and Booz brings forth Obed of Ruth; and Obed brings forth Jesse;
and Salmon begot Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed of Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
6 And Jesse brings forth David the king; and David the king brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,
7 And Solomon brings forth Roboam; and Roboam brings forth Abia; and Abia brings forth Asa;
and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
8 And Asa brings forth Josaphat; and Josaphat brings forth Joram; and Joram brings forth Ozias;
and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
9 And Ozias brings forth Joatham; and Joatham brings forth Achaz; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias;
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 And Ezekias brings forth Manasses; and Manasses brings forth Amon; and Amon brings forth Josias;
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias brings forth Salathiel; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel;
And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud; and Abiud brings forth Eliakim; and Eliakim brings forth Azor;
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
14 And Azor brings forth Sadoc; and Sadoc brings forth Achim; and Achim brings forth Eliud;
and Azor begot Sadok, and Sadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
15 And Eliud brings forth Eleazar; and Eleazar brings forth Matthan; and Matthan brings forth Jacob;
and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
16 And Jacob brings forth Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was likewise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 And had sexual contact with her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
