MT-1:1  The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of

David, the son

of Abraham.

MT-1:2  Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob

begat Judas and

his brethren;

MT-1:3  And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares

begat Esrom; and

Esrom begat Aram;

MT-1:4  And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and

Naasson begat

Salmon;

MT-1:5  And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of

Ruth; and Obed

begat Jesse;

MT-1:6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat

Solomon of her

[that had been the wife] of Urias;

MT-1:7  And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and

Abia begat Asa;

MT-1:8  And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and

Joram begat

Ozias;

MT-1:9  And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and

Achaz begat

Ezekias;

MT-1:10  And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;

and Amon begat

Josias;

MT-1:11  And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the

time they were

carried away to Babylon:

MT-1:12  And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat

Salathiel; and

Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

MT-1:13  And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and

Eliakim begat

Azor;

MT-1:14  And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim

begat Eliud;

MT-1:15  And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and

Matthan begat

Jacob;

MT-1:16  And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was

born Jesus,

who is called Christ.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-1:19  Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not

willing to make

her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which

was spoken of

the Lord by the prophet, saying,

MT-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.

MT-1:24  Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of

the Lord had

bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

MT-1:25  And knew her not till she had brought forth her

firstborn son: and he

called his name JESUS.
