1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
1:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.
1:3 And Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron was the father of Ram.
1:4 And Ram was the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
1:5 And Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse.
1:6 And Jesse was the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah.
1:7 And Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam was the father of Abijah, and Abijah was the father of Asa.
1:8 And Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram, and Joram was the father of Uzziah.
1:9 And Uzziah was the father of Jotham, and Jotham was the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
1:10 And Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh was the father of Amon, and Amon was the father of Josiah.
1:11 And Josiah was the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
1:12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel.
1:13 And Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, and Abihud was the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim was the father of Azor.
1:14 And Azor was the father of Zadok, and Zadok was the father of Achim, and Achim was the father of Eliud.
1:15 And Eliud was the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar was the father of Matthan, and Matthan was the father of Jacob.
1:16 And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
1:17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
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.
1:19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
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 One who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
1:21 And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
1:22 Now all this took place in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
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.”
1:24 And Joseph got up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
1:25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
