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 public 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. |
