Matthew 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 public 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.
