* The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ {Messiah (Hebrew ) and Christ (Greek ) both mean "Anointed One "}, the son of David , the son of Abraham . * Abraham became the father of Isaac . Isaac became the father of Jacob . Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers . * Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar . Perez became the father of Hezron . Hezron became the father of Ram . * Ram became the father of Amminadab . Amminadab became the father of Nahshon . Nahshon became the father of Salmon . * Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab . Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth . Obed became the father of Jesse . * Jesse became the father of King David . David became the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah . * Solomon became the father of Rehoboam . Rehoboam became the father of Abijah . Abijah became the father of Asa . * Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat . Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram . Joram became the father of Uzziah . * Uzziah became the father of Jotham . Jotham became the father of Ahaz . Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah . * Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh . Manasseh became the father of Amon . Amon became the father of Josiah . * Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers , at the time of the exile to Babylon . * After the exile to Babylon , Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel . Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel . * Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud . Abiud became the father of Eliakim . Eliakim became the father of Azor . * Azor became the father of Sadoc . Sadoc became the father of Achim . Achim became the father of Eliud . * Eliud became the father of Eleazar . Eleazar became the father of Matthan . Matthan became the father of Jacob . * Jacob became the father of Joseph , the husband of Mary , from whom was born Jesus {"Jesus " means "Salvation ."}, who is called Christ . * So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations ; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations ; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ , fourteen generations . * Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this ; for after his mother , Mary , was engaged to Joseph , before they came together , she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit . * Joseph , her husband , being a righteous man , and not willing to make her a public example , intended to put her away secretly . * But when he thought about these things , behold , an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream , saying , "Joseph , son of David , don 't be afraid to take to yourself Mary , your wife , for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit . * She shall bring forth a son . You shall call his name Jesus , for it is he who shall save his people from their sins ." * Now all this has happened , that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet , saying , * "Behold , the virgin shall be with child , and shall bring forth a son . They shall call his name Immanuel "; which is , being interpreted , "God with us ." {Isaiah strkjv @7:14 } * Joseph arose from his sleep , and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him , and took his wife to himself ; * and didn 't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son . He named him Jesus .
