| | Mat 1:1 | The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
| |
| | Mat 1:2 | Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
| |
| | Mat 1:3 | Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.
| |
| | Mat 1:4 | Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
| |
| | Mat 1:5 | Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.
| |
| | Mat 1:6 | Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.
| |
| | Mat 1:7 | Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
| |
| | Mat 1:8 | Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
| |
| | Mat 1:9 | Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
| |
| | Mat 1:10 | Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.
| |
| | Mat 1:11 | Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
| |
| | Mat 1:12 | After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.
| |
| | Mat 1:13 | Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
| |
| | Mat 1:14 | Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
| |
| | Mat 1:15 | Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.
| |
| | Mat 1:16 | Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
| |
| | Mat 1:17 | So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
| |
| | Mat 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
| |
| | Mat 1:19 | And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
| |
| | Mat 1:20 | But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
| |
| | Mat 1:21 | "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
| |
| | Mat 1:22 | Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
| |
| | Mat 1:23 | "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us."
| |
| | Mat 1:24 | And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
| |
| | Mat 1:25 | but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
