The Good News According to Matthew Chapter 1
|
|||
|
|
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
|
|||
|
|
2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.
|
|||
|
|
3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram.
|
|||
|
|
4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon.
|
|||
|
|
5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse.
|
|||
|
|
6 Jesse became the father of King David. David the king became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife.
|
|||
|
|
7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.
|
|||
|
|
8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah.
|
|||
|
|
9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.
|
|||
|
|
10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah.
|
|||
|
|
11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
|
|||
|
|
12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.
|
|||
|
|
13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.
|
|||
|
|
14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud.
|
|||
|
|
15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.
|
|||
|
|
16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
|
|||
|
|
17 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.
|
|||
|
|
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
|
|||
|
|
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
|
|||
|
|
20 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 as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
|
|||
|
|
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
|
|||
|
|
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
|
|||
|
|
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
|
|||
|
|
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
|
|||
|
|
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
