Matthew 1
Revised Geneva Translation
1 Book of the lineage of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac. And Isaac begat Jacob. And Jacob begat Judah and his brothers.
3 And Judah begat Perez, and Zerah, of Tamar. And Perez begat Hezron. And Hezron begat Ram.
4 And Ram begat Amminadab. And Amminadab begat Nahshon. And Nahshon begat Salmon.
5 And Salmon begat Boaz, of Rahab. And Boaz begat Obed, of Ruth. And Obed begat Jesse.
6 And Jesse begat David the King. And David the King begat Solomon, of the wife of Uriah.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam. And Rehoboam begat Abijah. And Abijah begat Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat. And Jehoshaphat begat Joram. And Joram begat Uzziah.
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham. And Jotham begat Ahaz. And Ahaz begat Hezekiah.
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh. And Manasseh begat Amon. And Amon begat Josiah.
11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah, and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were carried away into Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel. And Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel.
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud. And Abiud begat Eliakim. And Eliakim begat Azor.
14 And Azor begat Zadok. And Zadok 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 they were carried away into Babylon, fourteen generations; and after they were carried away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: When His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child, from the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example, was of a mind to release her secretly.
20 But while he thought these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, the son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Ghost.
21 “And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. For He shall save His people from their sins.”
22 And all this was done to fulfill that which is spoken from the Lord by the Prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, ‘God with us’.”
24 Then Joseph, having awakened, did as the angel of the Lord had instructed him, and took his wife.
25 But he did not know her until she had brought forth her first-born Son, and he called His name, Jesus.

Complete Jewish Bible
1 This is the genealogy of Yeshua the Messiah, son of David, son of Avraham:
2 Avraham was the father of Yitz’chak,
Yitz’chak was the father of Ya‘akov,
Ya‘akov was the father of Y’hudah and his brothers,
3 Y’hudah was the father of Peretz and Zerach (their mother was Tamar),
Peretz was the father of Hetzron,
Hetzron was the father of Ram,
4 Ram was the father of ‘Amminadav,
‘Amminadav was the father of Nachshon,
Nachshon was the father of Salmon,
5 Salmon was the father of Bo‘az (his mother was Rachav),
Bo‘az was the father of ‘Oved (his mother was Rut),
‘Oved was the father of Yishai,
6 Yishai was the father of David the king.
David was the father of Shlomo (his mother was the wife of Uriyah),
7 Shlomo was the father of Rechav‘am,
Rechav‘am was the father of Aviyah,
Aviyah was the father of Asa,
8 Asa was the father of Y’hoshafat,
Y’hoshafat was the father of Yoram,
Yoram was the father of ‘Uziyahu,
9 ‘Uziyahu was the father of Yotam,
Yotam was the father of Achaz,
Achaz was the father of Hizkiyahu,
10 Hizkiyahu was the father of M’nasheh,
M’nasheh was the father of Amon,
Amon was the father of Yoshiyahu,
11 Yoshiyahu was the father of Y’khanyahu and his brothers
at the time of the Exile to Bavel.
12 After the Babylonian Exile, Y’khanyahu was the father of Sh’altiel,
Sh’altiel was the father of Z’rubavel,
13 Z’rubavel was the father of Avihud,
Avihud was the father of Elyakim,
Elyakim was the father of ‘Azur,
14 ‘Azur was the father of Tzadok,
Tzadok was the father of Yakhin,
Yakhin was the father of El’ichud,
15 El’ichud was the father of El‘azar,
El‘azar was the father of Mattan,
Mattan was the father of Ya‘akov,
16 Ya‘akov was the father of Yosef the husband of Miryam,
from whom was born the Yeshua who was called the Messiah.
17 Thus there were fourteen generations from Avraham to David,
fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian Exile,
and fourteen generations from the Babylonian Exile to the Messiah.
18 Here is how the birth of Yeshua the Messiah took place. When his mother Miryam was engaged to Yosef, before they were married, she was found to be pregnant from the Ruach HaKodesh. 19 Her husband-to-be, Yosef, was a man who did what was right; so he made plans to break the engagement quietly, rather than put her to public shame. 20 But while he was thinking about this, an angel of Adonai appeared to him in a dream and said, “Yosef, son of David, do not be afraid to take Miryam home with you as your wife; for what has been conceived in her is from the Ruach HaKodesh. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Yeshua, [which means ‘Adonai saves,’] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this happened in order to fulfill what Adonai had said through the prophet,
23 “The virgin will conceive and bear a son,
and they will call him ‘Immanu El.”[a]
(The name means, “God is with us.”)
24 When Yosef awoke he did what the angel of Adonai had told him to do — he took Miryam home to be his wife, 25 but he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son, and he named him Yeshua.
