The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. 

Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers, 

and Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram, 

and Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon, 

And Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse, 

and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon by the one who had been the wife of Uriah, 

And Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa, 

and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah, 

And Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah, 

And Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah, 

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

And after they were brought to Babylon Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel, 

and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor, 

and Azor begot Zadok, and Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud, 

and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob, 

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

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations. 

Now of Jesus Christ the birth was as follows; after she was betrothed His mother Mary to Joseph, before they came together she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 

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 home Mary your wife; for what which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit. 

And she will bring forth a Son and you shall call His name Jesus; for He will save His people from their sins». 

So all this was done so that it might be fulfilled what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying; 

«Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a Son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel», which is translated as «God is with us». 

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep did as had commanded him the angel of the Lord and took his wife to live with him, 

and had no relations with her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son, and he called His name Jesus.
