The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
001:002
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
001:003
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
001:004
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
001:005
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
001:006
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
001:007
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
001:008
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
001:009
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
001:010
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
001:011
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
001:012
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
001:013
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
001:014
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
001:015
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
001:016
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
001:017
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.
001:018
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.
001:019
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
001:020
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.
001:021
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
001:022
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
001:023
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.
001:024
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
001:025
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
