Matthew

Matthew 1

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ , the son of David , the son of Abraham .

2 Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren ;

3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar ; and Phares begat Esrom ; and Esrom begat Aram ;

4 And Aram begat Aminadab ; and Aminadab begat Naasson ; and Naasson begat Salmon ;

5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab ; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ;

6 And Jesse begat David the king ; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias ;

7 And Solomon begat Roboam ; and Roboam begat Abia ; and Abia begat Asa ;

8 And Asa begat Josaphat ; and Josaphat begat Joram ; and Joram begat Ozias ;

9 And Ozias begat Joatham ; and Joatham begat Achaz ; and Achaz begat Ezekias ;

10 And Ezekias begat Manasses ; and Manasses begat Amon ; and Amon begat Josias ;

11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren , about the time they were carried away to Babylon :

12 And after they were brought to Babylon , Jechonias begat Salathiel ; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel ;

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 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 her away privily .

20 But while he thought on these things , behold the 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 Ghost .

21 And she shall bring forth a son , and thou shalt call his name JESUS : 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 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 .

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 son : and he called his name JESUS .
