NHEBJE - Matthew - 1

1:1  A record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

1:2  Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

1:3  and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,

1:4  and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,

1:5  and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,

1:6  and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

1:7  and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;

1:8  and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

1:9  and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;

1:10  and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,

1:11  and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.

1:12  And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

1:13  and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor,

1:14  and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud,

1:15  and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,

1:16  and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

1:17  So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

1:18  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 to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

1:19  And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

1:20  But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

1:21  And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

1:22  Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through the prophet, saying,

1:23  "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."

1:24  And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of Jehovah commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

1:25  and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
