"Futhi wena, Bhetlehema lase-Efrata, mncane kakhulu ukuba phakathi kwezinduna zakwaJuda, lowo okufanele abe ngumbusi wakwa-Israyeli uzophuma kuwe; umsuka wayo uvela ezinsukwini zasendulo, kusukela ezinsukwini ezikude kakhulu.
Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu uzobabeka emandleni abanye kuze kube yilapho lowo ozala ebeletha; bonke abanye abafowenu bazobuyela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
Uyakuma lapho, aluse ngamandla eNKOSI, ngobukhosi begama leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, baphile ngokuphepha ngoba lapho uyoba mkhulu kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.

Kusuka kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaMathewu 1,1-16.18-23.
Uhlu lukaJesu Kristu indodana kaDavide, indodana ka-Abrahama.
U-Abrahama wazala u-Isaka, u-Isaka wazala uJakobe, uJakobe wazala uJuda nabafowabo,
UJuda wazala uFares noZara kuTamari, uFares wazala u-Esrimi, u-Esrimi ezala u-Aramu.
U-Aram wazala u-Aminadaba, u-Aminadaba wazala uNaassòn, uNaassòn wazala uSalmòn,
USalimòn wazala u-Booz waseRacab, u-Booz wazala u-Obede kuRuthe, u-Obede wazala uJese.
UJese wazala iKosi uDavida. UDavida wazala uSolomoni kulokho okwakungunkosikazi ka-Uriya,
USolomoni wazala uRehobhowamu, uRehobhowamu wazala uAbhayi;
U-Asaf wazala uJehoshafati, uJehoshafati wazala uJoramu, noJehoramu wazala u-Ozia,
U-Uziya wazala uJotham, uJotham wazala u-Ahazi, u-Ahazi wazala uHezekiya,
UHezekiya wazala uManase, uManase wazala uAmosi, uAmose wazala uYosiya.
UJosiya wazala uHeconia nabafowabo ngesikhathi sokudingiselwa eBhabhiloni.
Emva kokudingiselwa eBhabheli, u-Ieconia wazala uSalatieli, uSalatieli wazala uZorobabèle,
UZorobabèle wazala u-Abiyedi, u-Abiyeli wazala u-Eliaacim, u-Eliaacim wazala u-Azori
U-Azori wazala uSadoki; uSadoki wazala uAkim, uAkim wazala uEliud,
U-Eliúd wazala u-Eleyazare, u-Eleyazare wazala uMatani, uMatani wazala uJakobe.
UJakobe wazala uJosefu, umyeni kaMariya, uJesu azalwa nguJesu.
Lokhu kwenzeka kanjani ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu: Unina uMariya, athenjiswa umakoti kaJoseph, ngaphambi kokuba bayohlala bahlala ndawonye, wazithola ekhulelwe umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele.
UJoseph umyeni wakhe, owayelungile futhi engafuni ukumphika, wanquma ukumshisa ngasese.
Kepha esacabanga ngalezi zinto, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ngephupho, yathi kuye: Ngcwele.
Uzozala indodana futhi uzombiza ngokuthi nguJesu: empeleni uzosindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo ».
Konke lokhu kwenzeka ngoba lokho iNkosi eyayikushilo ngomprofethi kwagcwaliseka:
"Lapha, intombi iyokhulelwa izale indodana ezobizwa ngokuthi u-Emmanuel", okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu-nathi.
