| Chapter
1 |
| 1 | The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham. |
| 2 | Abraham begat
Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; |
| 3 | And Judas begat Phares and Zara
of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; |
| 4 | And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab
begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; |
| 5 | And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of
Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; |
| 6 |
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias; |
| 7
| And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat
Asa; |
| 8 | And Asa begat
Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; |
| 9 | And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham
begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; |
| 10 | And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias; |
| 11 |
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon: |
| 12 |
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat Zorobabel; |
| 13
| And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat
Azor; |
| 14 | And Azor begat
Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; |
| 15 | And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar
begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; |
| 16 | And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was
born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
|
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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
|
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. |
| 21 | And she
shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save
his people from their sins. |
| 22
| Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying, |
|
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.
Isa 7:14 |
| 24 | Then Joseph
being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took
unto him his wife: |
| 25 |
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called
his name JESUS. |
