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. |
|
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. |
