Matthew 1
New Matthew Bible

The genealogy of Christ and marriage of his mother Mary. The angel satisfies Joseph’s mind.

1 This is the account of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son also of Abraham:

2 Abraham begat Isaac;

Isaac begat Jacob;

Jacob begat Judah and his brethren.

3 Judah begat Perez and Zerah by Tamar;

Perez begat Hezron;

Hezron begat Ram.

4 Ram begat Amminadab;

Amminadab begat Nashon;

Nashon begat Salmon.

5 Salmon begat Boaz by Rahab;

Boaz begat Obed by Ruth;

Obed begat Jesse.

6 Jesse begat David the king;

David the king begat Solomon, by her who was the wife of Uriah.

7 Solomon begat Rehoboam;

Rehoboam begat Abijah;

Abijah begat Asa.

8 Asa begat Jehoshaphat;

Jehoshaphat begat Joram;

Joram begat Uzziah.

9 Uzziah begat Jotham;

Jotham begat Ahaz;

Ahaz begat Hezekiah.

10 Hezekiah begat Manasseh;

Manasseh begat Amon;

Amon begat Josiah.

11 Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel;

Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel.

13 Zerubbabel begat Abiud;

Abiud begat Eliakim;

Eliakim begat Azor.

14 Azor begat Zadok;

Zadok begat Achim;

Achim begat Eliud.

15 Eliud begat Eleazar;

Eleazar begat Matthan;

Matthan begat Jacob.

16 Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born that Jesus that is called Christ.

17 All the generations from Abraham to David are 14 generations. And from David to the captivity of Babylon are 14 generations. And from the captivity of Babylon to Christ are also 14 generations.

18 The birth of Jesus Christ was this way: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came to dwell together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being an upright man, and loathe to make an example of her, was minded to put her away quietly. 20 While he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife. For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. For he will save his people from their sins.

22 All this was done to fulfil that which was spoken about the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us.

24 And Joseph, as soon as he awoke out of sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bid him and took his wife unto him, 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son, and called his name Jesus.

Matthew 1
New International Version

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah(A)(B)(C)

1 This is the genealogy[a] of Jesus the Messiah[b] the son of David,(D) the son of Abraham:(E)

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac,(F)

Isaac the father of Jacob,(G)

Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,(H)

3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,(I)

Perez the father of Hezron,

Hezron the father of Ram,

4 Ram the father of Amminadab,

Amminadab the father of Nahshon,

Nahshon the father of Salmon,

5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,(J)

Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,

Obed the father of Jesse,

6 and Jesse the father of King David.(K)

David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah’s wife,(L)

7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam,

Rehoboam the father of Abijah,

Abijah the father of Asa,

8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat,

Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram,

Jehoram the father of Uzziah,

9 Uzziah the father of Jotham,

Jotham the father of Ahaz,

Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,

10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh,(M)

Manasseh the father of Amon,

Amon the father of Josiah,

11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah[c] and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.(N)

12 After the exile to Babylon:

Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,(O)

Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,(P)

13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud,

Abihud the father of Eliakim,

Eliakim the father of Azor,

14 Azor the father of Zadok,

Zadok the father of Akim,

Akim the father of Elihud,

Eleazar the father of Matthan,

Matthan the father of Jacob,

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary,(Q) and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.(R)

17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.(S) 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce(T) her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel(U) of the Lord appeared to him in a dream(V) and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f](W) because he will save his people from their sins.”(X)

22 All this took place to fulfill(Y) what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g](Z) (which means “God with us”).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel(AA) of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.(AB)
