A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac was the father of Jacob, Jacob was 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 was the father of Hezron, Hezron was the father of Ram,

then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed was the father of Jesse,
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 and Jesse was the father of David the king. David the king was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam was the father of Abijah, Abijah was the father of Asa,
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram, Joram was the father of Uzziah,
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham was the father of Ahaz, Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah,
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh was the father of Amon, Amon was the father of Josiah,
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 and Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the Babylonian resettlement.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 After the Babylonian resettlement, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud, Abiud was the father of Eliakim, Eliakim was the father of Azor,
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Achim, Achim was the father of Eliud,
then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar was the father of Matthan, Matthan was the father of Jacob,
then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 and Jacob was 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 So in all there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian resettlement, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian resettlement 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 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from 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 her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is 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 yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for 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 spoken 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 conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name 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 awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
