—
1:3

—

and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
—
1:7
Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa (note: Greek Asaph, a variant of Asa; also in verse 8; see 1 Chronicles 3:10.).
—

—
1:11
and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
—
1:12
After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

1:13
Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

1:16
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
—
1:17
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.
—
1:18
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.
—
1:19
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
—
1:20
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.
—
1:21
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus (note: Jesus means The LORD saves.), because He will save His people from their sins.”
—
1:22
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
—
1:23
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel (note: Literally they will call His name Immanuel; Isaiah 7:14 (see also DSS))” (which means, “God with us (note: See Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8, and Isaiah 8:10.)”).
—
1:24
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and embraced Mary as his wife.
—
1:25
But he had no union with her (note: Literally he did not know her) until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
