The Genealogy of Jesus Christ
Lk 3:23–38
1#Ge 22:18; Isa 11:1; Ro 1:3The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of Abraham:
2#Ge 25:26; Ac 7:8Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
3#Ge 46:12; 38:29–30Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar,
Perez the father of Hezron,
and Hezron the father of Ram.
4Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
5#Heb 11:31; Jas 2:25Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth,
and Obed the father of Jesse.
6#1Sa 16:1; 17:12Jesse was the father of David the king.
David the king was the father of Solomon, by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7Solomon was the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
and Abijah the father of Asa.
8#1Ch 3:11Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,
and Joram the father of Uzziah.
9Uzziah was the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amon,
and Amon the father of Josiah.
11#Jer 27:20; Da 1:2Josiah was the father of Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were exiled to Babylon.
12#1Ch 3:17; Ezr 3:2And after they were brought to Babylon,
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,
and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.
13Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud,
Abiud the father of Eliakim,
and Eliakim the father of Azor.
14Azor was the father of Zadok,
Zadok the father of Akim,
and Akim the father of Eliud.
15Eliud was the father of Eleazar,
Eleazar the father of Matthan,
and Matthan the father of Jacob.
16#Mt 27:17; Lk 3:23And Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the exile to Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the exile in Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Lk 2:1–7
18#Ge 3:15Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way: After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit. 19#Dt 22:21–24; 24:1–4Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example, had in mind to divorce her privately.
20#Mt 1:18; 2:13But while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for He who is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21#Lk 1:31; Ac 4:12She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22#Mt 2:15; 2:23Now all this occurred to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, saying, 23#Isa 7:14; 9:6–7; Mt 28:20“A virgin shall be with child, and will bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,”#Isa 7:14. which is interpreted, “God with us.”
24Then Joseph, being awakened from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and remained with his wife, 25#Mt 1:21; Lk 2:7and did not know her until she had given birth to her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.

9‘Uziyahu [Yehovah is my strength] begot Yotam [God is perfect]; Yotam [God is perfect] begot Achaz [God is holding]; Achaz [God is holding] begot Hizkiyahu [God strengthens].
10Hizkiyahu [God strengthens] begot M’nasheh [to cause to forget]; M’nasheh [to cause to forget] begot Amon [secret, builder]; Amon [secret, builder] begot Yoshiyahu [Yehovah heals].
11Yoshiyahu [Yehovah heals] begot Y’hoyakim [Yah raises up]; Y’hoyakim [Yah raises up] begot Y’khanyahu [Yah estabished] and his brothers in the exile in Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) [confusion].
12Y’khanyahu [Yah estabished] begot Sh’altiel [I asked God (El)]; Sh’altiel [I asked God (El)] begot Z’rubavel [begotten in Babylon (confusion)].

17So all the generations from Avraham [Exalted Father] unto David [Beloved] were fourteen generations and from David [Beloved] unto the exile in Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) were fourteen generations and from the exile in Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) unto Yeshua [God is Salvation] were fourteen generations.
18The birth of Yeshua [God is Salvation] was in this way: It came to pass when his mother was betrothed to Yosef [he will add], before he had intercourse with her, she was found with Child by Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit [Ruach]) (which means: The Holy Spirit [Ruach]).
19Yosef [he will add] was a righteous man and did not wish to dwell with her nor to expose her by bringing her to shame or to bind her over to death. He instead wished to conceal her.
20While he thought on this matter in his heart, behold an angel appeared to him in a dream and said: “Yosef [he will add] ben David [Beloved] do not fear to take Miryam [waters of strength] as your wife because she is with Child by Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit [Ruach])”.
21“She will bear a son and you will call his name Yeshua [God is Salvation] because he will save My people from their sins”.
22Then Yosef [he will add] awoke from his sleep, did according to all which the angel of Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] commanded him, and took her as his wife.
23But he did not have intercourse with her until she brought forth her firstborn Son and he called his name Yeshua [God is Salvation].
