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