Matthew 1

¹ This is the family line of Jesus the Christ. He came from King David. He came from Abraham.

¹⁸ Here is how Jesus the Christ was born. His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph. But before they came together as husband and wife, she found out a baby was growing inside her. The Holy Spirit put that baby there.

²⁰ While Joseph was trying to figure out what to do, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, you come from the family line of David. Do not be afraid to marry Mary. The baby inside her came from the Holy Spirit."
