The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
1 An account of the genealogy[a] of Jesus the Messiah,[b] the son of David, the son of Abraham.
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 Aram, 4 and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,[c] 8 and Asaph[d] the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,[e] and Amos[f] the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar 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 the Messiah.[g]
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah,[h] fourteen generations.
The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
18 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah[i] took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. 20 But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’ 22 All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel’,
which means, ‘God is with us.’ 24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, 25 but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son;[j] and he named him Jesus.

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.

Jesu släkttavla
1 (A) Detta är berättelsen[a] om Jesus Kristus[b], Davids son, Abrahams son[c].
2 (B) Abraham blev far till Isak,
Isak till Jakob,
och Jakob till Juda
och hans bröder.
3 (C) Juda blev far till Peres och Sera
genom Tamar,
Peres till Hesron,
Hesron till Ram,
4 Ram till Amminadab,
Amminadab till Nahshon,
Nahshon till Salmon.
5 Salmon blev far till Boas
genom Rahab,
Boas till Obed genom Rut,
Obed till Ishai,
6 (D) och Ishai till kung David.
David blev far till Salomo
genom Urias hustru.
7 (E) Salomo blev far till Rehabeam,
Rehabeam till Abia,
Abia till Asa,
8 (F) Asa till Joshafat,
Joshafat till Joram,
Joram till Ussia,
9 (G) Ussia till Jotam,
Jotam till Ahas,
Ahas till Hiskia,
10 (H) Hiskia till Manasse,
Manasse till Amon,
Amon till Josia,
11 (I) och Josia till Jekonja och hans bröder vid den tid då folket fördes bort till Babylon.
12 (J) Efter bortförandet till Babylon blev Jekonja far till Shealtiel,

Sadok till Jakim,
Jakim till Elihud,
15 Elihud till Eleasar,
Eleasar till Mattan,
Mattan till Jakob,
16 (K) och Jakob till Josef, Marias man.
Av henne föddes Jesus,
som kallas Kristus.
17 Alltså blir det tillsammans fjorton släktled[d] från Abraham till David, fjorton led från David till fångenskapen i Babylon och fjorton led från fångenskapen i Babylon till Kristus.
Jesu födelse
18 (L) Med Jesu Kristi födelse gick det till så: hans mor Maria var trolovad[e] med Josef, men innan de hade varit tillsammans visade det sig att hon var havande genom den helige Ande. 19 Hennes man Josef var rättfärdig och ville inte dra skam över henne[f], och därför beslöt han att skilja sig från henne i hemlighet.
20 Men när han funderade över detta, då visade sig en Herrens ängel för honom i en dröm och sade: "Josef, Davids son! Var inte rädd för att ta till dig Maria som din hustru, för barnet i henne har blivit till genom den helige Ande. 21 (M) Hon ska föda en son, och du ska ge honom namnet Jesus[g], för han ska frälsa sitt folk från deras synder."
22 Allt detta hände för att det som Herren hade sagt genom profeten skulle uppfyllas: 23 (N) Se, jungfrun ska bli havande och föda en son, och man ska ge honom namnet Immanuel. Det betyder: Gud med oss.[h]
24 När Josef vaknade upp ur sömnen, gjorde han som Herrens ängel hade befallt och tog sin hustru till sig. 25 (O) Men han rörde henne inte förrän hon hade fött en son. Och han gav honom namnet Jesus.

- 1:1 Kristus Grekiska för "den Smorde" (hebr. "Messias"), Guds utlovade frälsare, kung och profet.
- 1:1 Davids son, Abrahams son Jesus uppfyllde både profetiorna om en fredskung som Salomo (2 Sam 7:12f, Ps 72, Jes 9:6f) och om ett oskyldigt offerlamm som Isak (1 Mos 22, Jes 53).
- 1:17 fjorton släktled Matteus har förkortat släkttavlan genom att hoppa över tre ogudaktiga kungar efter Joram – Ahasja, Joas och Amasja (vers 8, jfr 1 Krön 3:11-12) – samt Josias son Jojakim (vers 11, jfr 1 Krön 3:15-16). Symmetrin med fjorton släktled rimmar nämligen med det hebreiska talvärdet för "David" (jfr not till 1:1). Det var inte ovanligt att släkttavlor förkortades (jfr t ex Esra 7:1-5), eftersom ordet "far" också kan användas om en förfader (jfr Matt 3:9).
- 1:18 trolovad En juridiskt bindande överlåtelse i väntan på bröllop. Trolovning ingicks normalt i tonåren, och redan vid detta stadium kunde otrohet bestraffas med döden (5 Mos 22:23f).

Matthew 1
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.
