The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

|

|

Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.
|
| 1:6 |
Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.
|

|

Josiah became 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, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.

|
| 1:15 |
Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.
|
| 1:16 |
Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
|
| 1:17 |
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
|
| 1:18 |
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
|
| 1:19 |
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
|
| 1:20 |
But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
|
| 1:21 |
"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
|
| 1:22 |
Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
|
| 1:23 |
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us."
|
| 1:24 |
And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
|
| 1:25 |
but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
