 In words of Maurice A. Robinson: "Various methods for restoration of the original NT text have fallen short of their goal, in part due to methodological subjectivity, and in part to a presuppositional bias against the claims of the Byzantine Textform. The texts created under such a bias tend to be based on only a handful of favored manuscripts, and fail to consider all transmissional factors in the preservation of the original text. As a result, the modern eclectic texts tend to preserve more of a caricature than the essence of the originals. In contrast, Robinson and Pierpont have applied their method of ‘reasoned transmissionalism,’ based on the wider scope of manuscript transmission throughout history."

Βίβλος γενέσεως Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ Δαυίδ, υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ. ¶ Ἀβραὰμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαάκ· Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ• Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ• Ἰούδας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Φαρὲς καὶ τὸν Ζαρὰ ἐκ τῆς Θάμαρ• Φαρὲς δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑσρώμ• Ἑσρὼμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀράμ• Ἀρὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀμιναδάβ• Ἀμιναδὰβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ναασσών• Ναασσὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλμών• Σαλμὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Βοὸζ ἐκ τῆς Ῥαχάβ• Βοὸζ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ὠβὴδ ἐκ τῆς Ῥούθ• Ὠβὴδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεσσαί• Ἰεσσαὶ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Δαυὶδ τὸν βασιλέα. ¶ Δαυὶδ δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σολομῶνα ἐκ τῆς τοῦ Οὐρίου• Σολομὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ῥοβοάμ• Ῥοβοὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀβιά• Ἀβιὰ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀσά• Ἀσὰ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσαφάτ• Ἰωσαφὰτ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωράμ• Ἰωρὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ὀζίαν• Ὀζίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωάθαμ• Ἰωάθαμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἄχαζ• Ἄχαζ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑζεκίαν• Ἑζεκίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μανασσῆ• Μανασσῆς δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀμών• Ἀμὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσίαν• Ἰωσίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεχονίαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος. ¶ Μετὰ δὲ τὴν μετοικεσίαν Βαβυλῶνος, Ἰεχονίας ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλαθιήλ• Σαλαθιὴλ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ζοροβάβελ• Ζοροβάβελ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀβιούδ• Ἀβιοὺδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλιακείμ• Ἐλιακεὶμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀζώρ• Ἀζὼρ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαδώκ• Σαδὼκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀχείμ• Ἀχεὶμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλιούδ• Ἐλιοὺδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλεάζαρ• Ἐλεάζαρ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ματθάν• Ματθὰν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ• Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἄνδρα Μαρίας, ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη Ἰησοῦς, ὁ λεγόμενος χριστός. ¶ Πᾶσαι οὖν αἱ γενεαὶ ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ ἕως Δαυὶδ γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες• καὶ ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες• καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ χριστοῦ, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες. ¶ Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἡ γέννησις οὕτως ἦν. Μνηστευθείσης γὰρ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσήφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτούς, εὑρέθη ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου. Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὤν, καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν παραδειγματίσαι, ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν. Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος, ἰδού, ἄγγελος κυρίου κατ' ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ, λέγων, Ἰωσήφ, υἱὸς Δαυίδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου• τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου. Τέξεται δὲ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν• αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν. Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Ἰδού, ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Μεθ' ἡμῶν ὁ θεός. Διεγερθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου, ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου• καὶ παρέλαβεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἔτεκεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον• καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν.
