Matthew 1:16

Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary [Miriam];
through her was born Jesus, who is called the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
[In Greek, Joseph is in the definite form to give emphasis. Mary is the Greek form of the Aramaic name Mariam (from the Hebrew Miriam). Here there is a nice connection to the first covenant and Moses, who received the teachings and commandments from God. The woman chosen to give birth to the Messiah, who fulfills the Torah, is named Mirjam – the same name as Moses' sister! It was she who watched over Moses and saved his life, see Ex. 2:4–10.]
