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