Gli antenati di Gesù Cristo
1 Questi sono gli antenati di Gesù Cristo, discendente del re Davide e di Abramo.
2 Abramo fu il padre di Isacco;
Isacco fu il padre di Giacobbe;
Giacobbe fu il padre di Giuda e dei suoi fratelli.
3 Giuda fu il padre di Fares e Zara (Tamar fu la loro madre);
Fares fu il padre di Esrom;
Esrom fu il padre di Aram;
4 Aram fu il padre di Aminadab;
Aminadab fu il padre di Naasson;
Naasson fu il padre di Salmon;
5 Salmon fu il padre di Booz (e Rahab sua madre);
Booz fu il padre di Obed (e Ruth sua madre);
Obed fu il padre di Iesse;
6 Iesse fu il padre del re Davide;
Davide fu il padre di Salomone (e sua madre la vedova dʼUria);
7 Salomone fu il padre di Roboamo;
Roboamo fu il padre di Abia;
Abia fu il padre di Asa;
8 Asa fu il padre di Giosafat;
Giosafat fu il padre di Ioram;
Ioram fu il padre di Uzzia;
9 Uzzia fu il padre di Ioatam;
Ioatam fu il padre di Achaz;
Achaz fu il padre di Ezechia;
10 Ezechia fu il padre di Manasse;
Manasse fu il padre di Amon;
Amon fu il padre di Giosia;
11 Giosia fu il padre di Ieconia e dei suoi fratelli (nati nel periodo dellʼesilio in Babilonia).
12 Dopo lʼesilio: Ieconia fu il padre di Salatiel;
Salatiel fu il padre di Zorobabel;
13 Zorobabel fu il padre di Abiud;
Abiud fu il padre di Eliacim;
Eliacim fu il padre di Azor;
14 Azor fu il padre di Sadoc;
Sadoc fu il padre di Achim;
Achim fu il padre di Eliud;
15 Eliud fu il padre di Eleazaro;
Eleazaro fu il padre di Mattan;
Mattan fu il padre di Giacobbe;
16 Giacobbe fu il padre di Giuseppe, il marito di Maria, la madre di Gesù Cristo, il Messia.
17 Così da Abramo fino a Davide abbiamo quattordici generazioni, dal re Davide allʼesilio in Babilonia altre quattordici generazioni; come pure abbiamo quattordici generazioni dallʼesilio a Cristo.
Promessa della nascita di Gesù
18 Ecco i fatti riguardanti la nascita di Gesù Cristo. Sua madre, Maria, era fidanzata con Giuseppe, ma, mentre era ancora vergine, si trovò incinta per opera dello Spirito Santo. 19 Giuseppe, il suo fidanzato, da uomo di giusti princìpi, decise di rompere il fidanzamento, di nascosto però, perché non voleva esporla a critiche infamanti.
20 Ma, mentre faceva questi progetti, gli apparve in sogno un angelo del Signore.
«Giuseppe, discendente di Davide», disse lʼangelo, «non esitare a sposare Maria, perché il bambino che è dentro di lei è stato concepito dallo Spirito Santo. 21 Maria avrà un figlio al quale metterai nome Gesù (che significa Salvatore), perché è lui che salverà il suo popolo dai suoi peccati. 22 Questo accadrà, affinché si realizzi ciò che Dio ha detto tramite il suo profeta: 23 “Ascoltate! La vergine sarà incinta! Partorirà un figlio che sarà chiamato Emmanuele (che significa Dio è con noi)”».
24 Quando Giuseppe si svegliò, fece come lʼangelo gli aveva comandato e portò Maria a casa sua per sposarla. 25 Maria, vergine, partorì il bambino, a cui Giuseppe mise nome Gesù.
Matthew 1
New King James Version
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ(A)
1 The book of the (B)genealogy[a] of Jesus Christ, (C)the Son of David, (D)the Son of Abraham:
2 (E)Abraham begot Isaac, (F)Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot (G)Judah and his brothers. 3 (H)Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, (I)Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot (J)Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and (K)Jesse begot David the king.
(L)David the king begot Solomon by her [b]who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 (M)Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot (N)Abijah, and Abijah begot [c]Asa. 8 Asa begot (O)Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot (P)Uzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot (Q)Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 (R)Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot [d]Amon, and Amon begot (S)Josiah. 11 (T)Josiah begot [e]Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were (U)carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, (V)Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot (W)Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of (X)Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.
Christ Born of Mary(Y)
18 Now the (Z)birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child (AA)of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being [f]a just man, and not wanting (AB)to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, (AC)for that which is [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 (AD)And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [h]Jesus, (AE)for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 (AF)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and [i]did not know her till she had brought forth (AG)her[j] firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.

King James Version
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and 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 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
