¹The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

²The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;

³And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

⁴And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;

⁵And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;

⁶And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

⁷And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;

⁸And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;

⁹And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;

¹⁰And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;

¹¹And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.

¹²And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;

¹³And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;

¹⁴And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;

¹⁵And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;

¹⁶And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

¹⁷So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

²⁰But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

²¹And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

²²Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

²³See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

²⁴And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

²⁵And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

Matthew 1

¹A record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

²Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

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

⁴and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,

⁵and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,

⁶and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

⁷and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;

⁸and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

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 Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,

¹¹and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.

¹²And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

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, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

¹⁷So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

²⁰But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²¹And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

²²Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

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."

²⁴And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

²⁵and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
