The book of the 1generation of Jesus Christ, the 2son of David, the son of Abraham.
|
|
2
|
Abraham begat 1Isaac; and Isaac begat 2Jacob; and Jacob begat 3Judas and his brethren;
|
|
3
|
And Judas begat 1Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat 2Esrom; and Esrom begat 3Aram;
|
|
4
|
And Aram begat 1Aminadab; and Aminadab begat 2Naasson; and Naasson begat 3Salmon;
|
|
5
|
And Salmon begat 1Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat 2Jesse;
|
|
6
|
And Jesse begat 1David the king; and David the king begat 2Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
|
|
7
|
And Solomon begat 1Roboam; and Roboam begat 2Abia; and Abia begat 3Asa;
|
|
8
|
And Asa begat 1Josaphat; and Josaphat begat 2Joram; and Joram begat 3Ozias;
|
|
9
|
And Ozias begat 1Joatham; and Joatham begat 2Achaz; and Achaz begat 3Ezekias;
|
|
10
|
And Ezekias begat 1Manasses; and Manasses begat 2Amon; and Amon begat 3Josias;
|
|
11
|
And Josias begat 1Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
|
|
12
|
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat 1Salathiel; and Salathiel begat 2Zorobabel;
|
|
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 1espoused 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 publick example, was minded to 1put her away privily.
|
|
20
|
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a 1dream, 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 2Holy Ghost.
|
|
21
|
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name 1aJESUS: 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
|
1Behold, 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.
1 Isa 7:14
|
|
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 1firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
