1 Livro da geração de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Davi, Filho de Abraão. 2 Abraão gerou a Isaque, e Isaque gerou a Jacó, e Jacó gerou a Judá e a seus irmãos, 3 e Judá gerou de Tamar a Perez e a Zerá, e Perez gerou a Esrom, e Esrom gerou a Arão. 4 Arão gerou a Aminadabe, e Aminadabe gerou a Naassom, e Naassom gerou a Salmom, 5 e Salmom gerou de Raabe a Boaz, e Boaz gerou de Rute a Obede, e Obede gerou a Jessé. 6 Jessé gerou ao rei Davi, e o rei Davi gerou a Salomão da que foi mulher de Urias. 7 Salomão gerou a Roboão, e Roboão gerou a Abias, e Abias gerou a Asa, 8 e Asa gerou a Josafá, e Josafá gerou a Jorão, e Jorão gerou a Uzias, 9 e Uzias gerou a Jotão, e Jotão gerou a Acaz, e Acaz gerou a Ezequias. 10 Ezequias gerou a Manassés, e Manassés gerou a Amom, e Amom gerou a Josias, 11 e Josias gerou a Jeconias e a seus irmãos na deportação para a Babilônia.

12 E, depois da deportação para a Babilônia, Jeconias gerou a Salatiel, e Salatiel gerou a Zorobabel, 13 e Zorobabel gerou a Abiúde, e Abiúde gerou a Eliaquim, e Eliaquim gerou a Azor, 14 e Azor gerou a Sadoque, e Sadoque gerou a Aquim, e Aquim gerou a Eliúde, 15 e Eliúde gerou a Eleazar, e Eleazar gerou a Matã, e Matã gerou a Jacó, 16 e Jacó gerou a José, marido de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, que se chama o Cristo.

17 De sorte que todas as gerações, desde Abraão até Davi, são catorze gerações; e, desde Davi até a deportação para a Babilônia, catorze gerações; e, desde a deportação para a Babilônia até Cristo, catorze gerações.

18 Ora, o nascimento de Jesus Cristo foi assim: Estando Maria, sua mãe, desposada com José, antes de se ajuntarem, achou-se ter concebido do Espírito Santo. 19 Então, José, seu marido, como era justo e a não queria infamar, intentou deixá-la secretamente. 20 E, projetando ele isso, eis que, em sonho, lhe apareceu um anjo do Senhor, dizendo: José, filho de Davi, não temas receber a Maria, tua mulher, porque o que nela está gerado é do Espírito Santo. 21 E ela dará à luz um filho, e lhe porás o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos seus pecados. 22 Tudo isso aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que foi dito da parte do Senhor pelo profeta, que diz: 23 Eis que a virgem conceberá e dará à luz um filho, e ele será chamado pelo nome de Emanuel. (Emanuel traduzido é: Deus conosco). 24 E José, despertando do sonho, fez como o anjo do Senhor lhe ordenara, e recebeu a sua mulher, 25 e não a conheceu até que deu à luz seu filho, o primogênito; e pôs-lhe o nome de Jesus.

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
