1The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, # Isa 11:1; Ro 1:3 the son of Abraham: # Ge 22:18; Gal 3:16
2Abraham was the father of Isaac, # Ge 21:3

and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. # Ac 7:8
3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, # Ge 38:29–30; 46:12
Perez the father of Hezron,
and Hezron the father of Ram.
4Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
5Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, # Heb 11:31; Jas 2:25
Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth,
and Obed the father of Jesse. # Ru 4:18–22
6Jesse was the father of David the king. # 1Sa 16:1; 17:12
David the king was the father of Solomon, by her who had been the wife of Uriah. # 2Sa 12:24
7Solomon was the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
and Abijah the father of Asa.
8Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,
and Joram the father of Uzziah. # 1Ch 3:11
9Uzziah was the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amon,

11Josiah was the father of Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were exiled to Babylon. # Jer 27:20; Da 1:2

17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the exile to Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the exile in Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Lk 2:1–7
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way: After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit. # Ge 3:15 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example, had in mind to divorce her privately. # Dt 22:20–21; 24:1–4; Mt 5:31–32; 19:1–12
20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream # Mt 2:13 saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for He who is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. # Mt 1:18 21She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, # Lk 1:31 for He will save His people from their sins.” # Ac 4:12
22Now all this occurred to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, # Mt 2:15, 23 saying, 23“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and will bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” # Isa 7:14; 9:6–7; Mt 28:20 # 1:23 Isa 7:14. which is interpreted, “God with us.”
24Then Joseph, being awakened from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and remained with his wife, 25and did not know her until she had given birth to her firstborn Son. # Lk 2:7 And he called His name Jesus.

(Ruth 4:18–22; Luke 3:23–38)
1This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar,
Perez the father of Hezron,
and Hezron the father of Ram.#1:3 Greek Aram, a variant of Ram; also in verse 4; see 1 Chronicles 2:9–10.

6and Jesse the father of David the king.
Next:
David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
7Solomon the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
and Abijah the father of Asa.#1:7 Greek Asaph, a variant of Asa; also in verse 8; see 1 Chronicles 3:10.
8Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,
and Joram the father of Uzziah.
9Uzziah was the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amon,#1:10 Greek Amōs, a variant spelling of Amon; twice in this verse; see 1 Chronicles 3:14.
Amon the father of Josiah,
11and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers
at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12After the exile to Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13Zerubbabel the father of Abiud,
Abiud the father of Eliakim,
and Eliakim the father of Azor.
14Azor was the father of Zadok,
Zadok the father of Achim,
and Achim the father of Eliud.
15Eliud was the father of Eleazar,
Eleazar the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob,
16and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary,
of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
The Birth of Jesus
(Isaiah 7:10–16; Luke 2:1–7)
18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus,#1:21 Jesus means The Lord saves. because He will save His people from their sins.”
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23“Behold, the virgin will be with child
and will give birth to a son,
and they will call Him Immanuel”#1:23 Literally they will call His name Immanuel; Isaiah 7:14 (see also DSS)
(which means, “God with us”#1:23 See Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8, and Isaiah 8:10.).
24When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife. 25But he had no union with her #1:25 Literally he did not know her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
