Matthew

The Genealogy of Jesus

1This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

2Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

4Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

5Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,

6and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,

7Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

8Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

9Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,

11and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothersat the time of the exile to Babylon.

12After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

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

14Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

15Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,

16and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary,of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17In 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.

The Birth of Jesus

18This 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.

19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.

20But 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.

21She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus,because He will save His people from their sins.”

22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

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

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

25But he had no union with heruntil she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

耶稣基督降生

18耶稣基督降生的事记在下面：他母亲马利亚已经许配了约瑟，还没有迎娶，马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。

19她丈夫约瑟是个义人，不愿意明明地羞辱她，想要暗暗地把她休了。

20正思念这事的时候，有主的使者向他梦中显现，说：「大卫的子孙约瑟，不要怕！只管娶过你的妻子马利亚来，因她所怀的孕是从圣灵来的。

21她将要生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫耶稣，因他要将自己的百姓从罪恶里救出来。」

22这一切的事成就是要应验主借先知所说的话，

23说：必有童女怀孕生子； 人要称他的名为以马内利。（以马内利翻出来就是「 神与我们同在」。）

24约瑟醒了，起来，就遵着主使者的吩咐把妻子娶过来；

25只是没有和她同房，等她生了儿子，就给他起名叫耶稣。
