Chapter 1

|
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son
of David, the son of Abraham.
The Genealogy
of Jesus - |
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. |
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. |
