1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,
And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 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.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 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.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
