Matthew 1
1 The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
and Judah had Phares and Zara by Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom,
4 And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
and Esrom begat Aram, and Aram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon,
5 And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
and Salmon had Booz by Rahab, and Booz had Obed by Ruth,
6 And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David the king, and David had Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia,
8 And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
and Abia begat Asa, and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram,
9 And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
and Joram begat Ozias, and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Ezechias,
10 And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
and Ezechias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon,
11 And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
and Amon begat Josias, and Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time of their being carried away to Babylon.
12 And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
And after the captivity of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel,
13 And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14 And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim,
15 And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
and Achim begat Eliud, and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16 And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
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 to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
All the generations therefore from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Ghost:
19 And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her privately;
20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
and when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou Son of David, scruple not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
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 took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
(Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying,
23 See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
"Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.)
24 And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home his wife:
25 And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
