Matthew 1 (WEBP)

[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 the king° 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.

[16] And G1161 Jacob G2384 begat G1080 (AorActInd) Joseph G2501 the husband G435 of Mary G3137, of G1537 whom G3739 was born G1080 (AorPasInd) Jesus G2424, who G3588 is called G3004 (PresPasPtc) Christ G5547.
[17] So G3767 all G3956 the generations G1074 from G575 Abraham G11 to G2193 David G1138 [are] fourteen G1180 generations G1074; and G2532 from G575 David G1138 until G2193 the carrying away G3350 into Babylon G897 [are] fourteen G1180 generations G1074; and G2532 from G575 the carrying away G3350 into Babylon G897 unto G2193 Christ G5547 [are] fourteen G1180 generations G1074.
[18] Now G1161 the birth G1083 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 was G2258 (ImpfInd) on this wise G3779: When as G1063 his G846 mother G3384 Mary G3137 was espoused G3423 (AorPasPtc) to Joseph G2501, before G4250 G2228 they G846 came together G4905 (Aor2ActInf), she was found G2147 (AorPasInd) with child G1722 G1064 G2192 (PresActPtc) of G1537 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151.
[19] Then G1161 Joseph G2501 her G846 husband G435, being G5607 (PresPtc) a just G1342 [man], and G2532 not G3361 willing G2309 (PresActPtc) to make G3856 her G846 a publick example G3856 (AorActInf), was minded G1014 (AorPasDepInd) to put G630 her G846 away G630 (AorActInf) privily G2977.
[20] But G1161 while he G846 thought on G1760 (AorPasDepPtc) these things G5023, behold G2400 (Aor2ActImpr), the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 appeared G5316 (Aor2PasDepSubj) unto him G846 in G2596 a dream G3677, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Joseph G2501, thou son G5207 of David G1138, fear G5399 (AorPasDepSubj) not G3361 to take G3880 (Aor2ActInf) unto thee G4675 Mary G3137 thy wife G1135: for G1063 that which is conceived G1080 (AorPasPtc) in G1722 her G846 is G2076 (PresInd) of G1537 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151.
[21] And G1161 she shall bring forth G5088 (FutMidDepInd) a son G5207, and G2532 thou shalt call G2564 (FutActInd) his G846 name G3686 JESUS G2424: for G1063 he G846 shall save G4982 (FutActInd) his G846 people G2992 from G575 their G846 sins G266.
[22] Now G1161 all G3650 this G5124 was done G1096 (Perf2ActInd), that G2443 it might be fulfilled G4137 (AorPasSubj) which G3588 was spoken G4483 (AorPasPtc) of G5259 the Lord G2962 by G1223 the prophet G4396, saying G3004 (PresActPtc),
[23] Behold G2400 (Aor2ActImpr), a virgin G3933 shall be with child G1722 G1064 G2192 (FutActInd), and G2532 shall bring forth G5088 (FutMidDepInd) a son G5207, and G2532 they shall call G2564 (FutActInd) his G846 name G3686 Emmanuel G1694, which G3739 being interpreted G3177 (PresPasPtc) is G2076 (PresInd), God G2316 with G3326 us G2257.
[24] Then G1161 Joseph G2501 being raised G1326 (AorPasPtc) from G575 sleep G5258 did G4160 (AorActInd) as G5613 the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 had bidden G4367 (AorActInd) him G846, and G2532 took G3880 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846 his wife G1135:
[25] And G2532 knew G1097 (ImpfActInd) her G846 not G3756 till G2193 G3739 she had brought forth G5088 (Aor2ActInd) her G846 firstborn G4416 son G5207: and G2532 he called G2564 (AorActInd) his G846 name G3686 JESUS G2424.

Young’s Literal Translation

Matthew 1 (YLT)

[1] A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
[2] Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren,
[3] and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram,
[4] and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
[5] and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,
[6] and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her who had been Uriah’s,
[7] and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa,
[8] and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah,
[9] and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah,
[10] and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah,
[11] and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal.
[12] And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
[13] and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
[14] and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok 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 begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
[17] All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
[18] And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
[19] and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
[20] And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten is of the Holy Spirit,
[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] And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
[23] ‘Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,’ which is, being interpreted ‘With us he is God.’
[24] And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
[25] and did not know her till she brought forth her son-the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
