The Good News According to Matthew, Chapter 1
{1:1} The book of the genealogy of Jesus [1>]Christ[<1], the son of
David, the son of Abraham. {1:2} Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and
his brothers. {1:3} Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by
Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of
Ram. {1:4} Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the
father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. {1:5} Salmon
became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by
Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. {1:6} Jesse became the father
of David the king. David became the father of Solomon by her who had
been the wife of Uriah. {1:7} Solomon became the father of Rehoboam.
Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.
{1:8} Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the
father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. {1:9} Uzziah
became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz
became the father of Hezekiah. {1:10} Hezekiah became the father of
Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father
of Josiah. {1:11} Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his
brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon. {1:12} After the exile
to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became
the father of Zerubbabel. {1:13} Zerubbabel became the father of
Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father
of Azor. {1:14} Azor became the father of Sadoc. Sadoc became the
father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. {1:15} Eliud became
the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan
became the father of Jacob. {1:16} Jacob became the father of Joseph,
the husband of Mary, from whom was born [2>]Jesus[<2], who is called
Christ. {1:17} So all the generations from Abraham to David are
fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ,
fourteen generations.
{1:18} Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his
mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she
was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. {1:19} Joseph, her husband,
being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example,
intended to put her away secretly. {1:20} But when he thought about
these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself
Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
Spirit. {1:21} She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name
Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
{1:22} Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
{1:23} "Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel;"
which is, being interpreted, "God with us."[3]
{1:24} Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord
commanded him, and took his wife to himself; {1:25} and didn't know
her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named
him Jesus.
