1Matthew 1

1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:Select Matthew 1:1

2Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.Select Matthew 1:2

3And Judas begot Phares and Zara of Thamar. And Phares begot Esron. And Esron begot Aram.Select Matthew 1:3

4And Aram begot Aminadab. And Aminadab begot Naasson. And Naasson begot Salmon.Select Matthew 1:4

5And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab. And Booz begot Obed of Ruth. And Obed begot Jesse.Select Matthew 1:5

6And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.Select Matthew 1:6

7And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And Abia begot Asa.Select Matthew 1:7

8And Asa begot Josaphat. And Josaphat begot Joram. And Joram begot Ozias.Select Matthew 1:8

9And Ozias begot Joatham. And Joatham begot Achaz. And Achaz begot Ezechias.Select Matthew 1:9

10And Ezechias begot Manasses. And Manasses begot Amon. And Amon begot Josias.Select Matthew 1:10

11And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.Select Matthew 1:11

12And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.Select Matthew 1:12

13And Zorobabel begot Abiud. And Abiud begot Eliacim. And Eliacim begot Azor.Select Matthew 1:13

14And Azor begot Sadoc. And Sadoc begot Achim. And Achim begot Eliud.Select Matthew 1:14

15And Eliud begot Eleazar. And Eleazar begot Mathan. And Mathan begot Jacob.Select Matthew 1:15

16And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.Select Matthew 1:16

17So all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.Select Matthew 1:17

18Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.Select Matthew 1:18

19Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.Select Matthew 1:19

20But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.Select Matthew 1:20

21And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.Select Matthew 1:21

22Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:Select Matthew 1:22

23Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.Select Matthew 1:23

24And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.Select Matthew 1:24

25And he knew her not, till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus.Select Matthew 1:25
