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. |
