The Ancestors of Jesus Christ
(Lk 3.23–38)
1This is the list of the ancestors of Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, who was a descendant of Abraham.
2-6aFrom Abraham to King David, the following ancestors are listed: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah and his brothers; then Perez and Zerah (their mother was Tamar), Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, and King David.

2 Kgs 24.14–15; 2 Chr 36.10; Jer 27.20 From David to the time when the people of Israel were taken into exile in Babylon, the following ancestors are listed: David, Solomon (his mother was the woman who had been Uriah's wife), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, and Jehoiachin and his brothers.
12-16From the time after the exile in Babylon to the birth of Jesus, the following ancestors are listed: Jehoiachin, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazar, Matthan, Jacob, and Joseph, who married Mary, the mother of Jesus, who was called the Messiah.
17So then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen from David to the exile in Babylon, and fourteen from then to the birth of the Messiah.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
(Lk 2.1–7)

Lk 1.27
This was how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby by the Holy Spirit. 19Joseph was a man who always did what was right, but he did not want to disgrace Mary publicly; so he made plans to break the engagement privately. 20While he was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife. For it is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived. 21#Lk 1.31She will have a son, and you will name him Jesus — because he will save his people from their sins.”
22Now all this happened in order to make what the Lord had said through the prophet come true, 23#Is 7.14 (LXX)“A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel” (which means, “God is with us”).
24So when Joseph woke up, he married Mary, as the angel of the Lord had told him to do. 25#Lk 2.21But he had no sexual relations with her before she gave birth to her son. And Joseph named him Jesus.

Mattityahu 1
1
1This is the sefer toldot of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Ben Dovid, Ben Avraham.
2Avraham, then Yitzchak, Ya'akov, Yehudah and his brothers;
3then, through Yehudah, Peretz and Zerach by Tamar; then Chetzron, Ram;
4then Amminadav, Nachshon, Salmon;
5then Boaz by Rachav; then Oved by Ruth, then Yishai;
6then Yishai fathered Dovid HaMelech; then Sh'lomo by the wife of Uriyah;
7then Rechavam, Aviyah, Asa,
8then Yehoshafat, Yoram, Uziyahu;
9then Yotam, Achaz, Chizkiyahu,
10then Menasheh, Amon, Yoshiyahu,
11then Ykhanyahu and his achim from the days of the Golus in Babylon.
12After Ykhanyahu, then Shealtiel, then Zerubavel,
13then Avichud, then Elyakim, then Azur;
14then Tzadok, then Yakhin, then Elichud;
15then El'azar, then Mattan, then Ya'akov.
16Ya'akov fathered Yosef, the baal (husband) of Miryam, from whom was born Yehoshua, who is called Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.#1:16 Jn 1:49
17So then, there were arba'a asar (fourteen) dorot (generations) from Avraham to Dovid,#1:17 T.N. Dovid = DVD in Hebrew = [d = 4, v = 6, d = 4] = (4 + 6 + 4 = 14) and there were arba'a asar dorot from Dovid to the Golus in Babylon, and there were arba'a asar dorot from the Golus in Babylon to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
18The huledet (birth) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was as follows. When Moshiachʼs Em, Miryam, had been given in erusin to Yosef,#1:18 ben Dovid but before they came together, she was found with child through the Ruach Hakodesh.
19Her shidduch, Yosef,#1:19 ben Dovid being a tzaddik and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, planned to deal with the get (divorce) in a private arrangement.
20Now just when Yosef#1:20 ben Dovid had thought through to this tachlis (purpose) hinei! A malach Hashem appeared to him in a chalom, and said, Yosef ben Dovid, do not shrink from taking Miryam in nisuim (marriage) as your#1:20 basherte (destined mate) aishes chayil (virtuous woman) kallah (bride), because what has been conceived in her is through the Ruach Hakodesh.
21And she shall bear BEN (Son) and you will call SHMO#1:21 Zech 6:12 (his name) YEHOSHUA#1:21 Zech 6:11-12 because he will bring his people yeshu'ah (rescue, salvation, deliverance) from their peyshaim (rebellions).
22Now all this occurred so that which was spoken by Hashem through the Navi might be fulfilled,
23HINEI, HAALMAH HARAH VYOLEDET BEN VKARAT SHMO IMMANU-EL (Behold, the Virgin will be with child and will bear Son and will call his name Immanu-El)#1:23 Isa 7:14; cf. Orthodox Jewish Bible Introduction — which translated means G-d is with us.
24Then Yosef,#1:24 ben Dovid rising up from sleep, did as the malach Hashem commanded him and he took his kallah.
25And Yosef#1:25a ben Dovid did not know her until she bore BEN and Yosef#1:25b Ben Dovid called him by name of Yehoshua.#1:25c Ben Dovid#1:25d See Baba Bathra 8:6
