Matthew

Matthew 1

1 The book of the generation (Genesis 5:1; 1 Chronicles 1:1; Luke 3:23) of Jesus Christ, the son of David, (Psalms 132:11) the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham begat Isaac (Genesis 21:3) ; and Isaac begat Jacob; (Genesis 25:26) and Jacob begat Judas (Genesis 29:35) and his brethren;

3 And Judas begat Phares (Genesis 38:29) and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom (Ruth 4:18; 1 Chronicles 2:5) ; and Esrom begat Aram; (Ruth 4:19)

4 And Aram begat Aminadab (Ruth 4:19) ; and Aminadab begat Naasson (1 Chronicles 2:10; Exodus 6:23) ; and Naasson begat Salmon; (Ruth 4:20)

5 And Salmon begat Booz (Ruth 4:21; 1 Chronicles 2:12) of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; (Ruth 4:22)

6 And Jesse begat David (1 Samuel 17:12) the king; and David the king begat Solomon (2 Samuel 12:24) of her that had been the wife of Urias;

7 And Solomon begat Roboam (1 Kings 11:43) ; and Roboam begat Abia (1 Kings 14:31) ; and Abia begat Asa; (1 Kings 15:8)

8 And Asa begat Josaphat (2 Chronicles 17:1) ; and Josaphat begat Joram (2 Kings 8:16) ; and Joram begat Ozias; (2 Kings 14:21)

9 And Ozias begat Joatham (2 Kings 15:7) ; and Joatham begat Achaz (2 Kings 15:38) ; and Achaz begat Ezekias; (2 Kings 16:20)

10 And Ezekias begat Manasses (2 Kings 20:21) ; and Manasses begat Amon (2 Kings 21:18) ; and Amon begat Josias; (2 Kings 21:24)

11 And Josias begat Jechonias (2 Kings 24:6; Jeremiah 27:20; Daniel 1:2) and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel (1 Chronicles 3:17) ; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; (1 Chronicles 3:19; Ezra 3:2; Nehemiah 12:1; Haggai 1:1; Matthew 1:12)

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 (Luke 1:27) 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 put (Deuteronomy 24:1; Jeremiah 3:1; Matthew 5:31; Matthew 19:7; Mark 10:4) her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream (Genesis 20:3; Genesis 31:24) , 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. (Luke 1:35)

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: (Luke 1:31; Acts 4:12; Acts 13:38) 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, (Isaiah 7:14) a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,Isaiah 7:14 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 (Exodus 13:2; Luke 2:7) son: and he called his name JESUS.
