The Good News According to Matthew, Chapter 1
{1:1} A record of the genealogy of Yeshua the [1>]Messiah[<1], the
son of David, the son of Abraham. {1:2} Abraham became the father of
Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of
Judah and his brothers. {1:3} Judah became the father of Perez and
Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the
father of Ram. {1:4} Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab
became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon.
{1:5} Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the
father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. {1:6} Jesse
became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by
her who had been the wife of Uriah. {1:7} Solomon became the father of
Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the
father of Asa. {1:8} Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat
became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. {1:9}
Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz.
Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. {1:10} Hezekiah became the father
of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the
father of Josiah. {1:11} Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his
brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon. {1:12} After the exile
to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became
the father of Zerubbabel. {1:13} Zerubbabel became the father of
Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father
of Azor. {1:14} Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the
father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. {1:15} Eliud became
the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan
became the father of Jacob. {1:16} Jacob became the father of Joseph,
the husband of Miriam, from whom was born [2>]Yeshua[<2], who is
called Messiah. {1:17} 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 Messiah,
fourteen generations.
{1:18} Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this; for after
his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. {1:19} 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 the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself
Miriam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
Spirit. {1:21} She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name
Yeshua, 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 the Lord 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."[3]
{1:24} Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord
commanded him, and took his wife to himself; {1:25} and didn't know
her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named
him Yeshua.
