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 Judah and his brethren; Judah begat Perez and
Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;and
Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat
Salmon; Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse;and Jesse begat David the king.And David begat Solomon
of her that had been the wife of Uriah; and Solomon
begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat
Uzziah; and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and
Ahaz begat Hezekiah; and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and
Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; and Josiah
begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to
Babylon. And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah
begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; Zerubbabel begat Abiud;
and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;and Azor begat
Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 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 unto David are
fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen
generations. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this
wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came
together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And
Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public
example, was minded to put her away privily. But when he
thought on these things, behold, an 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 Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for
it is he that shall save his people from their sins. Now
all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
Lord through the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall
be with child, and shall bring forth a son,And they shall call his name
Immanuel;which is, being interpreted, God with us.And Joseph arose
from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto
him his wife;and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called
his name JESUS.
