* The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ , [the ] son of David , [the ] son of Abraham . * Abraham fathered Isaac , and Isaac fathered Jacob , and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers . * And Judah fathered Pharez and Zarah of Tamar . And Pharez fathered Hezron , and Hezron fathered Ram , * and Ram fathered Amminadab , and Amminadab fathered Nahshon , and Nahshon fathered Salmon . * And Salmon fathered Boaz of Rahab , and Boaz fathered Obed of Ruth , and Obed fathered Jesse , * and Jesse fathered David the king . And David the king fathered Solomon of [her who had been ] wife of Uriah . * And Solomon fathered Rehoboam , and Rehoboam fathered Abijah , and Abijah fathered Asa . * And Asa fathered Jehoshaphat , and Jehoshaphat fathered Jehoram , and Jehoram fathered Uzziah . * And Uzziah fathered Jotham , and Jotham fathered Ahaz , and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah . * And Hezekiah fathered Manasseh , and Manasseh fathered Amon , and Amon fathered Josiah . * And Josiah fathered Jehoiachin and his brothers , at the time they were carried away to Babylon . * And after the carrying away to Babylon , Jehoiachin fathered Shealtiel , and Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel . * And Zerubbabel fathered Abiud , and Abiud fathered Eliakim , and Eliakim fathered Azor . * And Azor fathered Sadoc , and Sadoc fathered Achim , and Achim fathered Eliud . * And Eliud fathered Eleazar , and Eleazar fathered Matthan , and Matthan fathered Jacob . * And Jacob fathered Joseph , the husband [to be ] of Mary , of whom Jesus was born , who is called Christ . * So all the generations from Abraham to David [are ] fourteen generations . And from David until the carrying away into Babylon , fourteen generations . And from the carrying away into Babylon until Christ , fourteen generations . * Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way (for His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph ) before they came together , she was found to be with child by [the ] Holy Spirit . * But Joseph , her husband [to be ], being just , and not willing to make her a public example , he purposed to put her away secretly . * And as he thought upon these things , behold , the angel of [the ] Lord appeared to him in a dream , saying , Joseph , son of David , do not fear to take to you Mary [as ] your wife . For that in her is fathered of [the ] Holy Spirit . * And she shall bear a son , and you shall call His name JESUS : for He shall save His people from their sins . * Now all this happened so that might be fulfilled that which was ] spoken of the LORD by the prophet , saying , * Behold , the virgin shall conceive in [her ] womb , and will bear a son . And they will call His name Emmanuel , which being interpreted is , God with us . * And Joseph , being roused from sleep , did as the angel of [the ] Lord commanded him and took his wife , * and did not know her until she bore her son , the First-born . And he called His name JESUS .
