| 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.
