| 1:1 |
|
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the
son of David, the son of Abraham. |
| 1:2 |
|
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and
Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; |
| 1:3 |
|
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and
Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; |
| 1:4 |
|
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat
Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; |
| 1:5 |
|
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat
Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; |
| 1:6 |
|
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the
king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; |
| 1:7 |
|
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia;
and Abia begat Asa; |
| 1:8 |
|
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat
Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; |
| 1:9 |
|
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat
Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; |
| 1:10 |
|
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat
Amon; and Amon begat Josias; |
| 1:11 |
|
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren,
about the time they were carried away to Babylon: |
| 1:12 |
|
And after they were brought to Babylon,
Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; |
| 1:13 |
|
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat
Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; |
| 1:14 |
|
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim;
and Achim begat Eliud; |
| 1:15 |
|
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat
Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; |
| 1:16 |
|
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of
whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
| 1:17 |
|
So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away
into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying
away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. |
| 1:18 |
|
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. |
| 1:19 |
|
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and
not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her
away privily. |
| 1:20 |
|
But while he thought on these things, behold,
the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying,
Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. |
| 1:21 |
|
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their
sins. |
| 1:22 |
|
Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, |
| 1:23 |
|
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall
bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with us. |
| 1:24 |
|
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the
angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: |
| 1:25 |
|
And knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. |
