Source: Scriptoria (scriptoria.digital). ## Text [1] This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: [2] Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. [3] Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. [4] Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. [5] Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, [6] and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife, [7] Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa. [8] Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah. [9] Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. [10] Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah, [11] and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. [12] After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, [13] Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. [14] Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. [15] Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, [16] and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. [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. [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. [19] Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly. [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. [21] 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.” [22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: [23] “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”). [24] When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife. [25] But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus. ## Places in this chapter - **Babylon 1** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/atlas/babylon-1 ## Who appears in this chapter - **Jesus** (the Christ) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/jesus - **Boaz** (the kinsman-redeemer) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/boaz - **Rahab** (of Jericho) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/rahab - **Joram** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/joram - **Uzziah** (also called Azariah) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/uzziah - **Jeconiah** (carried away to Babylon) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/jeconiah - **Josiah** (the king who renewed the covenant) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/josiah - **Abiud** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/abiud - **Azor** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/azor - **Eliakim** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/eliakim-son-of-abiud - **Zerubbabel** (the one who relaid the foundation) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/zerubbabel - **Achim** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/achim - **Eliud** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/eliud - **Zadok** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/zadok - **Eleazar** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/eleazar-father-of-matthan - **Jacob** (father of Joseph according to Matthew) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/jacob-father-of-joseph - **Matthan** — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/matthan - **Joseph** (the carpenter) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/joseph-of-nazareth - **Mary** (mother of Jesus) — https://scriptoria.digital/en/people/mary ## Each verse - Matthew 1:1 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/1 - Matthew 1:2 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/2 - Matthew 1:3 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/3 - Matthew 1:4 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/4 - Matthew 1:5 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/5 - Matthew 1:6 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/6 - Matthew 1:7 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/7 - Matthew 1:8 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/8 - Matthew 1:9 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/9 - Matthew 1:10 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/10 - Matthew 1:11 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/11 - Matthew 1:12 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/12 - Matthew 1:13 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/13 - Matthew 1:14 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/14 - Matthew 1:15 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/15 - Matthew 1:16 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/16 - Matthew 1:17 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/17 - Matthew 1:18 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/18 - Matthew 1:19 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/19 - Matthew 1:20 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/20 - Matthew 1:21 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/21 - Matthew 1:22 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/22 - Matthew 1:23 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/23 - Matthew 1:24 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/24 - Matthew 1:25 — https://scriptoria.digital/en/bible/matthew/1/25
