1:1  The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham:

1:3  Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

1:7  Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

1:11  Josiah became the father of Jeconiah [also called Coniah and Jehoiachin] and his brothers, at the time of the deportation (exile) to Babylon.
1:12  After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.
1:13  Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
1:14  Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

1:16  Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah (Christ).
1:17  So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David to the Babylonian deportation (exile), fourteen generations; and from the Babylonian deportation to the Messiah, 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 power of] the Holy Spirit.
1:19  And Joseph her [promised] husband, being a just and righteous man and not wanting to expose her publicly to shame, planned to send her away and divorce her quietly.
1:20  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, descendant 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.
1:21  She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation), for He will save His people from their sins.”
1:22  All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet [Isaiah]:
1:23  “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.”
1:24  Then Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and he took Mary [to his home] as his wife,
1:25  but he kept her a virgin until she had given birth to a Son [her firstborn child]; and he named Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation).
