1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
-
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
-
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
-
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
-
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
-
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
-
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
-
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
-
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
-
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
-
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
-
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
-
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
-
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
-
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
-
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
-
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
-
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
-
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
-
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
-
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
-
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
-
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
-
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
-
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

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