A genealogia de Jesus Cristo

1 São estes os antepassados de Jesus Cristo, descendente do rei David e de Abraão.

2 Os descendentes de Abraão foram sucessivamente Isaque, Jacob, Judá e os seus irmãos.

3 Judá foi pai de Perez e de Zera. Tamar foi a mãe de ambos. Depois de Perez vieram Hezrom, Rão,

4 Aminadabe, Nassom, Salmom,

5 Boaz, cuja mãe foi Raabe, Obede, que teve por mãe Rute,

6 Jessé e o rei David. Os descendentes de David foram Salomão, cuja mãe tinha sido mulher de Urias,

7 Roboão, Abias, Asa,

8 Jeosafá, Jorão, Uzias,

9 Jotão, Acaz, Ezequias,

10 Manassés, Amom, Josias,

11 Jeconias e seus irmãos, que nasceram quando os judeus foram deportados para a Babilónia.

12 Depois desse exílio, a linha de descendência continuou sucessivamente com Jeconias, Sealtiel, Zorobabel,

13 Abiude, Eliaquim, Azor,

14 Zadoque, Aquim, Eliude,

15 Eleazar, Matã, Jacob

16 e por fim José, marido de Maria, mãe de Jesus, chamado Cristo.

17 São catorze gerações desde Abraão até ao rei David; catorze desde o tempo do rei David até ao exílio na Babilónia; e catorze do exílio até Cristo.

O nascimento de Jesus

18 Eis o que se passou antes do nascimento de Jesus Cristo. Maria, sua mãe, estava noiva de José mas, embora fosse virgem, ficou grávida pelo Espírito Santo.

19 José, o seu noivo, homem justo, decidiu pôr termo à promessa de casamento, querendo porém fazê-lo de modo que ela não ficasse com má fama entre o povo.

20 Estando ele a pensar no caso, teve um sonho em que viu um anjo de pé, ao seu lado, que lhe dizia: “José, filho de David, não tenhas medo de aceitar Maria como tua mulher! A criança que ela traz no ventre foi gerada pelo Espírito Santo.

21 Ela terá um filho a quem porás o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos seus pecados.”

22 Assim se cumpriu a mensagem de Deus através dos seus profetas:

23 “A virgem ficará grávida e dará à luz um filho, e pôr-lhe-ão o nome de Emanuel.” Emanuel quer dizer: Deus está connosco.

24 Quando acordou, José fez o que o anjo lhe mandara e levou Maria para casa como sua mulher.

25 Mas ela continuou virgem até nascer o seu filho. José pôs-lhe o nome de Jesus.

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

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

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

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

4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,

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

6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,

7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,*

8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

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

10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,* and Amos the father of Josiah,

11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,* and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor,

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

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

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus Christ

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ* took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed* to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,

25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
