1 The family tree of Jesus Christ, David's son, Abraham's son:

2 Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob, Jacob had Judah and his brothers,

3 Judah had Perez and Zerah (the mother was Tamar), Perez had Hezron, Hezron had Aram,

4 Aram had Amminadab, Amminadab had Nahshon, Nahshon had Salmon,

5 Salmon had Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Boaz had Obed (Ruth was the mother), Obed had Jesse,

6 Jesse had David, and David became king. David had Solomon (Uriah's wife was the mother),

7 Solomon had Rehoboam, Rehoboam had Abijah, Abijah had Asa,

8 Asa had Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat had Joram, Joram had Uzziah,

9 Uzziah had Jotham, Jotham had Ahaz, Ahaz had Hezekiah,

10 Hezekiah had Manasseh, Manasseh had Amon, Amon had Josiah,

11 Josiah had Jehoiachin and his brothers, and then the people were taken into the Babylonian exile.

12 When the Babylonian exile ended, Jehoiachin had Shealtiel, Shealtiel had Zerubbabel,

13 Zerubbabel had Abiud, Abiud had Eliakim, Eliakim had Azor,

14 Azor had Zadok, Zadok had Achim, Achim had Eliud,

15 Eliud had Eleazar, Eleazar had Matthan, Matthan had Jacob,

16 Jacob had Joseph, Mary's husband, the Mary who gave birth to Jesus, the Jesus who was called Christ.

17 There were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, another fourteen from David to the Babylonian exile, and yet another fourteen from the Babylonian exile to Christ. The Birth of Jesus

18 The birth of Jesus took place like this. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. Before they came to the marriage bed, Joseph discovered she was pregnant. (It was by the Holy Spirit, but he didn't know that.)

19 Joseph, chagrined but noble, determined to take care of things quietly so Mary would not be disgraced.

20 While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a dream. God's angel spoke in the dream: "Joseph, son of David, don't hesitate to get married. Mary's pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God's Holy Spirit has made her pregnant.

21 She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph, will name him Jesus - 'God saves' - because he will save his people from their sins."

22 This would bring the prophet's embryonic sermon to full term:

23 Watch for this - a virgin will get pregnant and bear a son; They will name him Emmanuel (Hebrew for "God is with us").

24 Then Joseph woke up. He did exactly what God's angel commanded in the dream: He married Mary.

25 But he did not consummate the marriage until she had the baby. He named the baby Jesus.

17 All those listed above include fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah.

18 This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.

20 As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

22 All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:

23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.

25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.
