耶稣基督的家谱(A)
1 大卫的子孙，亚伯拉罕的后裔，耶稣基督的家谱：
2 亚伯拉罕生以撒，以撒生雅各，雅各生犹大和他的兄弟， 3 他玛给犹大生了法勒斯和谢拉，法勒斯生希斯仑，希斯仑生亚兰， 4 亚兰生亚米拿达，亚米拿达生拿顺，拿顺生撒门， 5 喇合给撒门生了波阿斯，路得给波阿斯生了俄备得，俄备得生耶西， 6 耶西生大卫王。
乌利亚的妻子给大卫生了所罗门， 7 所罗门生罗波安，罗波安生亚比雅，亚比雅生亚撒， 8 亚撒生约沙法，约沙法生约兰，约兰生乌西雅， 9 乌西雅生约坦，约坦生亚哈斯，亚哈斯生希西家， 10 希西家生玛拿西，玛拿西生亚们，亚们生约西亚， 11 犹太人被掳到巴比伦的时候，约西亚生耶哥尼雅和他的兄弟。
12 被掳到巴比伦以后，耶哥尼雅生撒拉铁，撒拉铁生所罗巴伯， 13 所罗巴伯生亚比玉，亚比玉生以利亚敬，以利亚敬生亚所， 14 亚所生撒督，撒督生亚金，亚金生以律， 15 以律生以利亚撒，以利亚撒生马但，马但生雅各， 16 雅各生约瑟，就是马利亚的丈夫；那称为基督的耶稣，是马利亚所生的。
17 这样，从亚伯拉罕到大卫，一共是十四代；从大卫到被掳到巴比伦的时候，也是十四代；从被掳到巴比伦的时候到基督，又是十四代。
耶稣基督的降生(B)
18 耶稣基督的降生是这样的：耶稣的母亲马利亚许配了约瑟，他们还没有成亲，马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。 19 她丈夫约瑟是个义人，不愿张扬使她受辱，就打算暗中与她解除婚约。 20 他一直想着这些事，主的使者就在梦中向他显现，说：“大卫的子孙约瑟，只管放胆把你的妻子马利亚迎娶过来，因为她怀的孕是从圣灵来的。 21 她必生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫耶稣，因为他要把自己的子民从罪恶中拯救出来。” 22 这整件事的发生，是要应验主借着先知所说的：
23 “必有童女怀孕生子，
他的名要叫以马内利。”
以马内利就是“ 神与我们同在”的意思。 24 约瑟睡醒了，就照着主的使者所吩咐的，把妻子迎娶过来； 25 只是在孩子出生以前，并没有与她同房。约瑟给孩子起名叫耶稣。

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.[a]
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,[b] 4 and Ram[c] the father of Ammin′adab, and Ammin′adab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Bo′az by Rahab, and Bo′az the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uri′ah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehobo′am, and Rehobo′am the father of Abi′jah, and Abi′jah the father of Asa,[d] 8 and Asa[e] the father of Jehosh′aphat, and Jehosh′aphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzzi′ah, 9 and Uzzi′ah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezeki′ah, 10 and Hezeki′ah the father of Manas′seh, and Manas′seh the father of Amos,[f] and Amos[g] the father of Josi′ah, 11 and Josi′ah the father of Jechoni′ah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoni′ah was the father of She-al′ti-el,[h] and She-al′ti-el[i] the father of Zerub′babel, 13 and Zerub′babel the father of Abi′ud, and Abi′ud the father of Eli′akim, and Eli′akim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eli′ud, 15 and Eli′ud the father of Elea′zar, and Elea′zar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.[j]
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ[k] took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; 19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. 20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and his name shall be called Emman′u-el”
(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had borne a son;[l] and he called his name Jesus.

- 1.16 Joseph’s, not Mary’s, descent is given here, as the Jews did not usually reckon descent through the mother. Joseph was the legal and presumed father, and it was this fact that conferred rights of inheritance, in this case, the fulfilment of the Messianic promises.
- Matthew 1:18 Other ancient authorities read of the Christ
- 1.25 This means only that Joseph had nothing to do with the conception of Jesus. It implies nothing as to what happened afterward.
