Matthew Chapter 1 (AMP)

  1. The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham:

  2. Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers [who became the twelve tribes of Israel].

  3. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

  4. Ram was the father of Aminadab, Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

  5. Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.

  6. Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.

  7. Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

  8. Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

  9. Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

  10. Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.

  11. Josiah became the father of Jeconiah [also called Coniah and Jehoiachin] and his brothers, at the time of the deportation (exile) to Babylon.

  12. After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.

  13. Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

  14. Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

  15. Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.

  16. Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah (Christ).

  17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David to the Babylonian deportation (exile), fourteen generations; and from the Babylonian deportation to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
    Conception and Birth of Jesus

  18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by [the power of] the Holy Spirit.

  19. And Joseph her [promised] husband, being a just and righteous man and not wanting to expose her publicly to shame, planned to send her away and divorce her quietly.

  20. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

  21. She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation), for He will save His people from their sins.”

  22. All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet [Isaiah]:

  23. “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.”

  24. Then Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and he took Mary [to his home] as his wife,

  25. but he kept her a virgin until she had given birth to a Son [her firstborn child]; and he named Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation).

Thanks for sharing this with us.
Whenever I come across the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, my heart is always filled with compassion as to how the savior humbles Himself to come in the nature of man just to save us.

Yes brother, we must ensure all his sacrifices wasn't a mere waste of time by following his teaching!

Beatiful to witness the first thread of @reliquary's mining of the scriptures in the blockchain. God bless you @tikhub for this great responsibility. @sirknight you are amazing.

Please what version is scripted here @relinquary??

My favourite verse is v.23:

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.

Everytime, I am brught to the consciousness that God is with us, it gives me relief and peace at heart- having God to dwell in our hearts. Halleluja!
