The Genealogy of Jesus
(Ruth 4:18–22; Luke 3:23–38)

1The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:

2Abraham begat Isaac,

and Isaac begat Jacob,

and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers.

3And Judah begat Perez and Zerah out of Tamar,

and Perez begat Hezron,

and Hezron begat Aram.†

4And Aram begat Amminadab,

and Amminadab begat Nahshon,

and Nahshon begat Salmon.

5And Salmon begat Boaz out of Rahab,

and Boaz begat Obed out of Ruth,

and Obed begat Jesse,

6and Jesse begat David the king.

And:

David† begat Solomon out of her who had been of Uriah,

7and Solomon begat Rehoboam,

and Rehoboam begat Abijah,

and Abijah begat Asaph.†

8And Asaph begat Jehoshaphat,

and Jehoshaphat begat Joram,

and Joram begat Uzziah.

9And Uzziah begat Jotham,

and Jotham begat Ahaz,

and Ahaz begat Hezekiah.

10And Hezekiah begat Manasseh,

and Manasseh begat Amos,†

and Amos begat Josiah,

11and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers

at the deportation to Babylon.

12And after the deportation to Babylon:

Jeconiah begat Shealtiel,

and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,

13and Zerubbabel begat Abiud,

and Abiud begat Eliakim,

and Eliakim begat Azor.

14And Azor begat Zadok,

and Zadok begat Achim,

and Achim begat Eliud.

15And Eliud begat Eleazar,

and Eleazar begat Matthan,

and Matthan begat Jacob,

16and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary,

out of whom was begotten Jesus, the One being called Christ.

17Therefore all the generations from Abraham until David were fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus
(Isaiah 7:10–16; Luke 2:1–7)

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together was found having in womb from the Holy Spirit. 19And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not willing to make an example of her, resolved to send her away secretly.

20But on his having pondered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph son of David, you should not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, for that having been begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21And she will bear a Son, and you will call His name Jesus,† for He will save His people from their sins.”

22And all this has come to pass so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23“Behold, the virgin will have in womb,

and she will bear a son,

and they will call His name Immanuel,Ӡ

which is, being translated, “God with us.†”

24And Joseph, having been awoken from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife. 25And he did not know her† until she bore a Son,† and he called His name Jesus.
