1:1 The record of the origin of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
1:2 Abraham was the father of · Isaac, Isaac · was the father of · Jacob, and Jacob was the father of · Judah and · his brothers,
1:3 Judah · was the father of · Perez and · Zerah by · Tamar, Perez · was the father of · Hezron, and Hezron was the father of · Ram,
1:4 Ram · was the father of · Amminadab, Amminadab · was the father of · Nahshon, and Nahshon was the father of · Salmon,
1:5 Salmon · was the father of · Boaz by · Rahab, 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. David · was the father of · Solomon by the wife of Uriah.
1:7 Solomon · was the father of · Rehoboam, Rehoboam · was the father of · Abijah, and Abijah was the father of · Asaph,
1:8 Asaph · was the father of · Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat · was the father of · Joram, and Joram was the father of · Uzziah,
1:9 Uzziah · was the father of · Jotham, Jotham · was the father of · Ahaz, and Ahaz was the father of · Hezekiah,
1:10 Hezekiah · was the father of · Manasseh, Manasseh · was the father of · Amos, and Amos was the father of · Josiah,
1:11 Josiah · was the father of · Jechoniah and · his brothers at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
1:12 After · the deportation to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of · Shealtiel, and Shealtiel was the father of · Zerubbabel,
1:13 Zerubbabel · was the father of · Abiud, Abiud · was the father of · Eliakim, and Eliakim was the father of · Azor,
1:14 Azor · was the father of · Zadok, Zadok · was the father of · Achim, and Achim was the father of · Eliud,
1:15 Eliud · was the father of · Eleazar, Eleazar · was the father of · Matthan, and Matthan was the father of · Jacob,
1:16 Jacob · was the father of · Joseph the husband of Mary, from whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were 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 took place in this way: When his mother Mary was pledged in marriage · to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
1:19 Because her husband Joseph · · was a just man and unwilling to disgrace her in public, he planned to release her quietly.
1:20 But as he pondered 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 that which has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
1:21 And she will bear a son, and you are to call · him Jesus, for he will save · his people from · their sins.”
1:22 All this · took place so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled:
1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call · him Emmanuel,” which is translated “God is with us.” ·
1:24 When Joseph arose · · from · sleep, he did what the angel of the Lord had told him, · and he took her as · his wife,
1:25 but he had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he called · him Jesus.
