Matthew 1:1
New American Standard Bible
CHAPTER 1 |
||
| ||
The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham: |
||
Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. |
||
Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. |
||
Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. |
||
Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. |
||
Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. |
||
Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa. |
||
Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah. |
||
Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. |
||
Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah. |
||
Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. |
||
After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel. |
||
Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. |
||
Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. |
||
Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob. |
||
Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah. |
||
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. |
||
| ||
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. |
||
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. |
||
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. |
||
“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” |
||
Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: |
||
“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.” |
||
And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, |
||
but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. |
