| 1:1 | This is the record of the genealogy* of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. |
| 1:2 | Abraham was the father* of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, |
| 1:3 | Judah the father of Perez and Zerah (by Tamar), Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, |
| 1:4 | Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, |
| 1:5 | Salmon the father of Boaz (by Rahab), Boaz the father of Obed (by Ruth), Obed the father of Jesse, |
| 1:6 | and Jesse the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon (by the wife of Uriah*), |
| 1:7 | Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa,* |
| 1:8 | Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah, |
| 1:9 | Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, |
| 1:10 | Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon,* Amon the father of Josiah, |
| 1:11 | and Josiah* the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. |
| 1:12 | After* the deportation to Babylon, Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel,* Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, |
| 1:13 | Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, |
| 1:14 | Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, |
| 1:15 | Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, |
| 1:16 | and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, by whom* Jesus was born, who is called Christ.* |
| 1:17 | So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to Christ,* fourteen generations. |
| 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together,* she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:19 | Because Joseph, her husband to be,* was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her* privately. |
| 1:20 | When he had contemplated 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 as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:21 | She will give birth to a son and you will name him* Jesus,* because he will save his people from their sins.” |
| 1:22 | This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled: |
| 1:23 | “Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him* Emmanuel,”* which means* “God with us.”* |
| 1:24 | When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord* told him. He took his wife, |
| 1:25 | but did not have marital relations* with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named* Jesus. |
