arch...@jab.org 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. ________________________________________________________________________ Footnotes: [1] {1:1} Messiah (Hebrew) and Christ (Greek) both mean "Anointed One" [2] {1:16} "Yeshua" means "Salvation."
