1:1  The book of the family tree of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
1:2  Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac of Jacob, Jacob of Judah and his brothers,
1:3  Judah of Peres and Zara (by Tamar), Peres of Esrom, Esrom of Aram,
1:4  Aram of Aminadab, Aminadab of Naason, Naason of Salmon,
1:5  Salmon of Boaz (by Rahab), Boaz of Obed (by Ruth), Obed of Jesse,
1:6  and Jesse of David the king. David was the father of Solomon (by the wife of Uriah),
1:7  Solomon of Rehoboam, Rehoboam of Abijah, Abijah of Asaph,
1:8  Asaph of Jehosaphat, Jehosaphat of Joram, Joram of Uzziah,
1:9  Uzziah of Joatham, Joatham of Ahaz, Ahaz of Hezekiah,
1:10  Hezekiah of Manasseh, Manasseh of Amoz, Amoz of Josiah,
1:11  Josiah of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the exile in Babylon.
1:12  After the Babylonian exile, Jeconiah became the father of Salathiel, Salathiel of Zerubbabel,
1:13  Zerubbabel of Abioud, Abioud of Eliakim, Eliakim of Azor,
1:14  Azor of Sadok, Sadok of Achim, Achim of Elioud,
1:15  Elioud of Eleazar, Eleazar of Matthan, Matthan of Jacob,
1:16  and Jacob of Joseph the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called “Messiah.”
1:17  So all the generations from Abraham to David add up to fourteen; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; and from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
1:18  This was how the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place. His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph; but before they came together she turned out to be pregnant—by the holy spirit.
1:19  Joseph, her husband-to-be, was an upright man. He didn’t want to make a public example of her. So he decided to set the marriage aside privately.
1:20  But, while he was considering this, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” said the angel, “don’t be afraid to get married to Mary. The child she is carrying is from the holy spirit.
1:21  She is going to have a son. You are to give him the name Jesus; he is the one who will save his people from their sins.”
1:22  All this happened so that what the Lord said through the prophet might be fulfilled:
1:23  “Look: the virgin is pregnant, and will have a son, and they shall give him the name Emmanuel,”—which means, in translation, “God with us.”
1:24  When Joseph woke up from his sleep he did what the Lord’s angel had told him to. He married his wife,
1:25  but he didn’t have sexual relations with her until after the birth of her son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
