This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

BSB

Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

BSB

Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

BSB

Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

BSB

Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,

BSB

and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,

BSB

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

BSB

Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

BSB

Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

BSB

Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,

BSB

and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

BSB

After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

BSB

Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

BSB

Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

BSB

Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,

BSB

and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

BSB

In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.

BSB

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

BSB

Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.

BSB

But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

BSB

She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

BSB

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

BSB

“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

BSB

When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.

BSB

But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
