1An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.[#Gen 12.3; 22.18; Ps 132.11; Isa 11.1; Lk 1.32; Jn 7.42; Acts 2.30; 13.23; Rom 1.3; Gal 3.16; #1.1 Or A book; #1.1 Or birth; #1.1 Or Jesus Christ]
2Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,[#Gen 21.1, 3; 25.26; 29.35]
3and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Aram,[#Gen 38.27ff; Ruth 4.18ff; 1 Chr 2.5, 9ff]
4and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
5and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,
6and Jesse the father of King David.[#1 Sam 16.1; 17.12; 2 Sam 12.14]
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,
7and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,[#1 Chr 3.10; #1.7 Other ancient authorities read Asa]
8and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,[#1.8 Other ancient authorities read Asa]
9and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,
10and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah,[#2 Kings 20.21; 1 Chr 3.13; #1.10 Other ancient authorities read Amon; #1.10 Other ancient authorities read Amon]
11and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.[#2 Kings 24.14–16; Jer 27.20; 39.9]
12And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel,[#1 Chr 3.17, 19]
13and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor,
14and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud,
15and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, who bore Jesus, who is called the Messiah.[#Lk 1.27; #1.16 Or the Christ]
17So 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 Messiah, fourteen generations.[#1.17 Or the Christ]
18Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit.[#Lk 1.27, 35; #1.18 Or Jesus Christ]
19Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to divorce her quietly.[#Deut 22.13–21]
20But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”[#Lk 2.21; Jn 1.29; Acts 4.12; 13.23, 38]
22All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23“Look, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a son,[#Isa 7.14]
and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
which means, “God is with us.”
24When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife
25but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son, and he named him Jesus.[#Ex 13.2; Lk 2.21; #1.25 Other ancient authorities read her firstborn son]
