Rahab. Boaz became the
father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse became
the father of David the king. David became the father of Solomon by her who
had been the wife of Uriah. 7 Solomon became the father of
Rehoboam.
Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.
8 Asa became the father of

Uzziah. 9 Uzziah became the father of
Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.
10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of

Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon. 12 After

Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.
14 Azor became the father of

Eleazar.
Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was
born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the
generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the
exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon
to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother,
Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous
man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away
secretly. 20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be
afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call
his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
And shall bring forth a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel;”
Which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded
him, and took his wife to himself; 25 and didn’t know her sexually until
she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
