1 The booke of the generation of Jesus Christ the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.
A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 Abraham begate Isaac. And Isaac begate Iacob. And Iacob begat Iudas and his brethren.
Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;

then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;
5 And Salmon begate Booz of Rachab. And Booz begat Obed of Ruth. and Obed begat Iesse.
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 And Iesse begate Dauid the King. And Dauid the King begate Salomon of her that was the wife of Vrias.
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 And Salomon begate Roboam. And Roboam begate Abia. And Abia begate Asa.
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 And Asa begate Iosaphat. And Iosaphat begate Ioram. And Ioram begate Hozias.
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 And Hozias begat Ioatham. And Ioatham begate Achaz. And Achaz begate Ezekias.
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 And Ezekias begate Manasses. And Manasses begate Amon. And Amon begate Iosias.
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 And Iosias begate Iakim. And Iakim begate Iechonias and his brethren about the time they were caried away to Babylon.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 And after they were caried away into Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel. And Salathiel begate Zorobabel.
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud. And Abiud begate Eliacim. And Eliacim begate Azor.
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;
14 And Azor begate Sadoc. And Sadoc begate Achim. And Achim begate Eliud.
then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;
15 And Eliud begate Eleazar. And Eleazar begate Matthan. And Matthan begate Iacob.
then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourtene generations. And from Dauid vntil they were caried away into Babylon, fourtene generations: and after they were caried away into Babylon vntill Christ, fourteene generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
