1 Registro da genealogia de Jesus Cristo, filho de Davi, filho de Abraão:

2 Abraão gerou Isaque; Isaque gerou Jacó; Jacó gerou Judá e seus irmãos;

3 Judá gerou Perez e Zerá, cuja mãe foi Tamar; Perez gerou Esrom; Esrom gerou Arão;

4 Arão gerou Aminadabe; Aminadabe gerou Naassom; Naassom gerou Salmom;

5 Salmom gerou Boaz, cuja mãe foi Raabe; Boaz gerou Obede, cuja mãe foi Rute; Obede gerou Jessé;

6 e Jessé gerou o rei Davi. Davi gerou Salomão, cuja mãe tinha sido mulher de Urias;

7 Salomão gerou Roboão; Roboão gerou Abias; Abias gerou Asa;

8 Asa gerou Josafá; Josafá gerou Jorão; Jorão gerou Uzias;

9 Uzias gerou Jotão; Jotão gerou Acaz; Acaz gerou Ezequias;

10 Ezequias gerou Manassés; Manassés gerou Amom; Amom gerou Josias;

11 e Josias gerou Jeconias e seus irmãos, no tempo do exílio na Babilônia.

12 Depois do exílio na Babilônia: Jeconias gerou Salatiel; Salatiel gerou Zorobabel;

13 Zorobabel gerou Abiúde; Abiúde gerou Eliaquim; Eliaquim gerou Azor;

14 Azor gerou Sadoque; Sadoque gerou Aquim; Aquim gerou Eliúde;

15 Eliúde gerou Eleazar; Eleazar gerou Matã; Matã gerou Jacó;

16 e Jacó gerou José, marido de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, que é chamado Cristo.

17 Assim, ao todo houve catorze gerações de Abraão a Davi, catorze de Davi até o exílio na Babilônia e catorze do exílio até o Cristo.

18 Foi assim o nascimento de Jesus Cristo: Maria, sua mãe, estava prometida em casamento a José, mas, antes que se unissem, achou-se grávida pelo Espírito Santo.

19 Por ser José, seu marido, um homem justo, e não querendo expô-la à desonra pública, pretendia anular o casamento secretamente.

20 Mas, depois de ter pensado nisso, apareceu-lhe um anjo do Senhor em sonho e disse: "José, filho de Davi, não tema receber Maria como sua esposa, pois o que nela foi gerado procede do Espírito Santo.

21 Ela dará à luz um filho, e você deverá dar-lhe o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos seus pecados".

22 Tudo isso aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que o Senhor dissera pelo profeta:

23 "A virgem ficará grávida e dará à luz um filho, e lhe chamarão Emanuel" que significa "Deus conosco".

24 Ao acordar, José fez o que o anjo do Senhor lhe tinha ordenado e recebeu Maria como sua esposa.

25 Mas não teve relações com ela enquanto ela não deu à luz um filho. E ele lhe pôs 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.
