1The book of the generation of Jesus
Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat
Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3And Judas begat Phares and Zara of
Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab
begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and
Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6And Jesse begat David the king; and
David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam
begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat
begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham
begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and
Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11And Josias begat Jechonias and his
brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12And after they were brought to
Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud
begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat
Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar
begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of
Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17So 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.
18Now 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.
19Then Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her
away privily.
20But 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.
21And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their
sins.
22Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23Behold, 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.
24Then Joseph being raised from sleep
did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25And knew her not till she had brought
forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
