Matthew 1 (NMV)
1 The book of the birth of Jesus Christ the decendent of David, the decendent of Abraham.
2 Abraham fathered Isaac; and Isaac fathered Jacob; and Jacob fathered Judas and his brothers;
3 And Judas fathered Phares and Zara whose mother was Thamar; and Phares fathered Esrom; and Esrom fathered Aram;
4 And Aram fathered Aminadab; and Aminadab fathered Naasson; and Naasson fathered Salmon;
5 And Salmon fathered Boaz whose mother was Rachab; and Boaz fathered Obed whose mother was Ruth; and Obed fathered Jesse;
6 And Jesse fathered David the king; and David the king fathered Solomon whose mother had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon fathered Roboam; and Roboam fathered Abia; and Abia fathered Asa;
8 And Asa fathered Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat fathered Joram; and Joram fathered Ozias;
9 And Ozias fathered Joatham; and Joatham fathered Achaz; and Achaz fathered Hezekeiah;
10 And Hezekeiah fathered Manasses; and Manasses fathered Amon; and Amon fathered Josias;
11 And Josias fathered Jechonias and his brethers, about the time they were forced to move to Babylon:
12 And after they were taken to Babylon, Jechonias fathered Salathiel; and Salathiel fathered Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel fathered Abiud; and Abiud fathered Eliakim; and Eliakim fathered Azor;
14 And Azor fathered Sadoc; and Sadoc fathered Achim; and Achim fathered Eliud;
15 And Eliud fathered Eleazar; and Eleazar fathered Matthan; and Matthan fathered Jacob;
16 And Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ (the Messiah).
17 So all of the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the forced relocation into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the forced relocation into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Now, the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way: When His mother, Mary, was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, it was discovered that she was pregnant from the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph, her betrothed, being a righteous man, and preferring not to make her a public disgrace, was willing to divorce her privately, as was required to end a betrothal.
20 But while he was deeply pondering this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife: because what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call His name JESUS: because He will rescue His people out of their sins."
22 Now all of this happened, in order that it might be fulfilled what was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Look, a virgin will conceive, and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel, which is translated, 'God with us'.
24 Then Joseph, having been awakened from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife to himself:
25 And he did not have marital relations with her until she gave birth to her firstborn son, and he called His name Jesus.
