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.
