The Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of ^bJesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And ^cthe Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
^dHe shall not judge by ^ewhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by ^fwhat his ears hear,
4 but ^gwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ^hstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and ⁱwith the breath of his lips ^jhe shall kill the wicked.

Matthew 1:5-20

5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by ^kRahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and ^lJesse the father of David the king.

And ^mDavid was the father of Solomon by ⁿthe wife of Uriah, 7 and ^oSolomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, ^{▼▼ Asaph is probably an alternate spelling of Asa; some manuscripts Asa; also verse 8} 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, ^qand 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, ^{▼▼ Amos is probably an alternate spelling of Amon; some manuscripts Amon; twice in this verse} and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and ^sJosiah the father of ^tJechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12 And after the deportation to Babylon: ^uJechoniah was the father of ^vShealtiel, ^{▼▼Greek Salathiel; twice in this verse} and ^xShealtiel 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 ^yJoseph 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 ^zthe Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus Christ

18 Now the birth of ^aaJesus Christ ^{▼▼Some manuscripts of the Christ} took place in this way. ^acWhen his mother Mary had been betrothed ^{▼▼That is, legally pledged to be married} to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child ^aefrom the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling ^afto put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, ^agan 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.
