2 Abraham begat Isaac; Isaac begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; And Phares begat Esrom; Esrom begat Aram;
4 Aram begat Aminadab; And Amminadab begat Nahshon; Nahshon begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab; Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; And Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; David the king begot Solomon of the wife of Uriah;
7 Solomon begat Rehoboam; Rehoboam begat Abijah; Abijah begat Asa;
8 Asa begat Josaphat; Jehoshaphat begat Joram; Joram begat Ozias;
9 Uzziah begat Jotham; Jotham begat Ahaz; Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10 Hezekiah begat Manasseh; Manasseh begat Amon; Amon begat Josiah;
eleven Josiah became the father of Joiakim; Joachim begat Jeconiah and his brethren, to Babylon.
12 Resettlement to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13 Zorobabel begat Abiud; Abiud begat Eliakim; Eliakim begat Azor;

15 Eliud begat Eleazar; Eleazar begat Matthan; Matthan begat Jacob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18 The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: for his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her, wanted to divorce her quietly.
20 But when he thought on these things, --se, angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David! Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit;
21 she shall bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
22 And all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
23 Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means God with us.
24 Having risen from sleep, Joseph did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife,
25 And knew her not. Till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
