The book
of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham.
02 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob;
and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
03 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and
Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
04 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat
Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
05 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz
begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
06 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the
king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife
of Urias;
07 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat
Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
08 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat
Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
09 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 public 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.
