Matthew 1

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

The book of the ^agenealogy¹ of Jesus Christ, ^bthe Son of David, ^cthe Son of Abraham:
2 ^aAbraham begot Isaac, ^bIsaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot ^cJudah and his brothers. 3 ^aJudah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, ^bPerez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot ^aBoaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and ^aJesse begot David the king.
^bDavid the king begot Solomon by her ¹who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 ^aSolomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot ^bAbijah, and Abijah begot ¹Asa. 8 Asa begot ^aJehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot ^bUzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot ^aAhaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 ^aHezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot ¹Amon, and Amon begot ^bJosiah. 11 ^aJosiah begot ¹Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were ^bcarried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, ^aJeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot ^bZerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of ^aMary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

Christ Born of Mary

18 Now the ^abirth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child ^bof the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being ¹a just man, and not wanting ^ato make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while 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 you Mary your wife, ^afor that which is ¹conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 ^aAnd she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name ¹Jesus, ^bfor He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 ^a“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and ¹did not know her till she had brought forth ^aher² firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
