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.

1 大卫的子孙， 亚伯拉罕的后裔， 耶稣基督的家谱：

2 亚伯拉罕生以撒， 以撒生雅各， 雅各生犹大和他的兄弟，

3 他玛给犹大生了法勒斯和谢拉， 法勒斯生希斯仑， 希斯仑生亚兰，

4 亚兰生亚米拿达， 亚米拿达生拿顺， 拿顺生撒门，

5 喇合给撒门生了波阿斯， 路得给波阿斯生了俄备得， 俄备得生耶西，

6 耶西生大卫王。乌利亚的妻子给大卫生了所罗门，

7 所罗门生罗波安， 罗波安生亚比雅， 亚比雅生亚撒，

8 亚撒生约沙法， 约沙法生约兰， 约兰生乌西雅，

9 乌西雅生约坦， 约坦生亚哈斯， 亚哈斯生希西家，

10 希西家生玛拿西， 玛拿西生亚们， 亚们生约西亚，

11 犹太人被掳到巴比伦的时候， 约西亚生耶哥尼雅和他的兄弟。

12 被掳到巴比伦以后， 耶哥尼雅生撒拉铁， 撒拉铁生所罗巴伯，

13 所罗巴伯生亚比玉， 亚比玉生以利亚敬， 以利亚敬生亚所，

14 亚所生撒督， 撒督生亚金， 亚金生以律，

15 以律生以利亚撒， 以利亚撒生马但， 马但生雅各，

16 雅各生约瑟， 就是马利亚的丈夫； 那称为基督的耶稣， 是马利亚所生的。

17 这样， 从亚伯拉罕到大卫， 一共是十四代； 从大卫到被掳到巴比伦的时候， 也是十四代； 从被掳到巴比伦的时候到基督， 又是十四代。

18 耶稣基督的降生是这样的： 耶稣的母亲马利亚许配了约瑟， 他们还没有成亲， 马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。

19 她丈夫约瑟是个义人， 不愿张扬使她受辱， 就打算暗中与她解除婚约。

20 他一直想着这些事， 主的使者就在梦中向他显现， 说： "大卫的子孙约瑟， 只管放胆把你的妻子马利亚迎娶过来， 因为她怀的孕是从圣灵来的。

21 她必生一个儿子， 你要给他起名叫耶稣， 因为他要把自己的子民从罪恶中拯救出来。"

22 这整件事的发生， 是要应验主借着先知所说的：

23 "必有童女怀孕生子， 他的名要叫以马内利。"以马内利就是" 神与我们同在"的意思。

24 约瑟睡醒了， 就照着主的使者所吩咐的， 把妻子迎娶过来；

25 只是在孩子出生以前， 并没有与她同房。约瑟给孩子起名叫耶稣。
