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. Images | |
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. | |
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. |
