1:1 The Jewish ancestors of the messiah
1 This is a genealogy of Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah (Grk. Christ) a descendant of King David, a descendant of Avraham (Grk. Abraam).
2 Avraham was the father of Yitshak (Isaac), Yitshak the father of Ya’akov (Jacob; Grk. Yakob), Ya’akov the father of Yehudah (Judah; Grk. Yudas) and his brothers. 3 Yehudah was the father of Perets (Grk. Fares) and Zerah (Grk. Zara) through Tamar (Grk. Thamar), Perets the father of Hetsron (Grk. Hesrom), Hetsron the father of Ram, 4 Ram the father of Aminadav, Aminadav the father of Nahshon (Grk. Naasson), Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz (Grk. Boes/Boos) through Rahav, Boaz the father of Oved (Grk. Yobed/Yobel) through Ruth,[ref] and Oved the father of Yishay (Jesse; Grk. Yessai), 6 and Yishay the father of David the king.
David was the father of Shelomoh (Solomon; Grk. Solomon/Salomon) through Uriyah’s (Grk. Urias’) wife, 7 Shelomoh was the father of Rehav’am (Rehoboam; Grk. Roboam), Rehav’am the father of Aviyah (Grk. Abia), Aviyah the father of Asa (Grk. Asaf), 8 Asa the father of Yehoshafat (Jehoshaphat; Grk. Yosafat). Yehoshafat the father of Yoram (Joram), Yoram the father of Uziyah, 9 Uziyah the father of Yotam (Jotham; Grk. Yoatham), Yotam the father of Ahaz (Grk. Akaz), Ahaz the father of Hizkiyah (Hezekiah; Grk. Hezekias), 10 Hizkiyah the father of Menasheh (Manasseh; Grk. Manasses), Menasheh the father of Amon (Grk. Amos), Amon the father of Yoshiyah (Josiah; Grk. Yosias), 11 Yoshiyah was the father of Yekaneyah (Grk. Yekonias) and his brothers, when they were deported to Bavel (Babylon; Grk. Babulon).[ref]
12 Then after the deportation to Bavel, Yekaneyah was the father of Shealtiyel (Grk. Salathiel), Shealtiyel was the father of Zerubavel (Grk. Zorobabel), 13 Zerubavel was the father of Avihud (Grk. Abiud), Avihud was the father of Elyakim, and Elyakim the father of Azor, 14 Azor the father of Tsadok, Tsadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Eliud, 15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matan, Matan the father of Ya’akov (Jacob; Grk. Yakob), 16 Ya’akov the father of Yosef (Joseph), the husband of Maria (Mary; Heb. Miryam; Grk. Maria/Mariam) who Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), the one called the messiah was born to.
17 So the generations from Avraham to David numbered fourteen, from David to the deportation to Bavel there were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Bavel to the messiah there were fourteen generations.
At the time of Jesus’ birth, the land of Israel (now called Palestine by the Romans) was ruled by the Romans, who had granted Herod the Great the title of “king” over the region (see “Palestine under Roman Rule” map). His domain included most of the land that once belonged to Israel. After his death, the Romans granted Herod’s wishes that his kingdom be divided among his sons Archelaus, Antipas, and Philip. The region of the Decapolis (“Ten Cities”) was never included in Herod’s kingdom and had a distinctly Gentile population and character. The cities of this region enjoyed semi-autonomous status under the Romans.
