6 And Iesse begate Dauid the King. And Dauid the King begate Salomon of her that was the wife of Vrias.

9 And Hozias begat Ioatham. And Ioatham begate Achaz. And Achaz begate Ezekias.
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 And Ezekias begate Manasses. And Manasses begate Amon. And Amon begate Iosias.
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 And Iosias begate Iakim. And Iakim begate Iechonias and his brethren about the time they were caried away to Babylon.
and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
12 And after they were caried away into Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel. And Salathiel begate Zorobabel.
And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud. And Abiud begate Eliacim. And Eliacim begate Azor.

16 And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.
and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born 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 to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ 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 this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from 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.
But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
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 considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from 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 bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for 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 has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
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 have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
25 But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
