1The booke of the generation of Iesus Christ, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.Select Matthew 1:1

2Abraham begate Isaac, and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob begate Iudas and his brethren.Select Matthew 1:2

3And Iudas begate Phares and Zara of Thamar, and Phares begate Esrom, and Esrom begate Aram.Select Matthew 1:3

4And Aram begate Aminadab, and Aminadab begate Naasson, and Naasson begate Salmon.Select Matthew 1:4

5And Salmon begat Boos of Rachab, and Boos begate Obed of Ruth, and Obed begate Iesse.Select Matthew 1:5

6And Iesse begate Dauid the King, & Dauid the King begat Solomon of her that had bin the wife of Urias.Select Matthew 1:6

7And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begate Abia, and Abia begate Asa.Select Matthew 1:7

8And Asa begate Iosaphat, and Iosaphat begate Ioram, and Ioram begate Ozias.Select Matthew 1:8

9And Ozias begat Ioatham, and Ioatham begate Achas, and Achas begate Ezekias.Select Matthew 1:9

10And Ezekias begate Manasses, and Manasses begate Amon, and Amon begate Iosias.Select Matthew 1:10

11And Iosias begate Iechonias and his brethren, about the time they were caried away to Babylon.Select Matthew 1:11

12And after they were brought to Babylon, Iechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begate Zorobabel.Select Matthew 1:12

13And Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begate Azor.Select Matthew 1:13

14And Azor begat Sadoc, & Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud.Select Matthew 1:14

15And Eliud begate Eleazar, and Eleazar begate Matthan, and Matthan begate Iacob.Select Matthew 1:15

16And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, who is called Christ.Select Matthew 1:16

17So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourteene generations: and from Dauid vntill the carying away into Babylon, are foureteene generations: and from the carying away into Babylon vnto Christ, are fourteene generations.Select Matthew 1:17

18Now the birth of Iesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Ioseph (before they came together) shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.Select Matthew 1:18

19Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily.Select Matthew 1:19

20But while hee thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.Select Matthew 1:20

21And she shall bring forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his Name Iesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.Select Matthew 1:21

22(Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying,Select Matthew 1:22

23Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)Select Matthew 1:23

24Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, & tooke vnto him his wife:Select Matthew 1:24

25And knewe her not, till shee had brought forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name Iesus.Select Matthew 1:25
