Matthew1 (New International Version) MT1:1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: MT1:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, MT1:3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, MT1:4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, MT1:5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, MT1:6 and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, MT1:7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, MT1:8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah, MT1:9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, MT1:10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah, MT1:11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. MT1:12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, MT1:13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, MT1:14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Eliud, MT1:15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, MT1:16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. MT1:17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. MT1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. MT1:19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. MT1:20 But after he had considered 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 home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. MT1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." MT1:22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: MT1:23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us." MT1:24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. MT1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
