1 Este é o registro dos antepassados de Jesus Cristo, descendente de Davi e 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 Rão.

4 Rão 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 Jessé gerou o rei Davi.

Davi gerou Salomão, cuja mãe foi Bate-Seba, viúva de Urias.

7 Salomão gerou Roboão.

Roboão gerou Abias.

Abias gerou Asa.

8 Asa gerou Josafá.

Josafá gerou Jeorão.

Jeorão gerou Uzias.

9 Uzias gerou Jotão.

Jotão gerou Acaz.

Acaz gerou Ezequias.

10 Ezequias gerou Manassés.

Manassés gerou Amom.

Amom gerou Josias.

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

12 Depois do exílio na Babilônia:

Joaquim 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 Jacó gerou José, marido de Maria.

Maria deu à luz Jesus, que é chamado Cristo.

17 Portanto, são catorze gerações de Abraão até Davi, catorze de Davi até o exílio na Babilônia e catorze do exílio na Babilônia até Cristo.

18 Foi assim que nasceu Jesus Cristo. Maria, sua mãe, estava prometida para se casar com José. Antes do casamento, porém, ela engravidou pelo poder do Espírito Santo. 19 José, seu noivo, era um homem justo e resolveu romper a união em segredo, pois não queria envergonhá-la com uma separação pública.

20 Enquanto ele pensava nisso, um anjo do Senhor lhe apareceu em sonho e disse: "José, filho de Davi, não tenha medo de receber Maria como esposa, pois a criança dentro dela foi concebida pelo Espírito Santo. 21 Ela terá um filho, e você lhe dará o nome de Jesus, pois ele salvará seu povo dos seus pecados".

22 Tudo isso aconteceu para cumprir o que o Senhor tinha dito por meio do profeta:

23 "Vejam! A virgem ficará grávida!

Ela dará à luz um filho,

e o chamarão Emanuel,

que significa ‘Deus conosco’".

24 Quando José acordou, fez o que o anjo do Senhor lhe havia ordenado e recebeu Maria como esposa. 25 No entanto, não teve relações com ela até o menino nascer; e ele lhe deu o nome de Jesus.

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram. 4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife. 7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa. 8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. 9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor. 14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob. 16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. 20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child,

and shall give birth to a son.

They shall call his name Immanuel,"

which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; 25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
