(Mat 1:1) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
(Mat 1:2) Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
(Mat 1:3) And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
(Mat 1:4) And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
(Mat 1:5) And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
(Mat 1:6) And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her {that had been the wife} of Urias;
(Mat 1:7) And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
(Mat 1:8) And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
(Mat 1:9) And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
(Mat 1:10) And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
(Mat 1:11) And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
(Mat 1:12) And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
(Mat 1:13) And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
(Mat 1:14) And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
(Mat 1:15) And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
(Mat 1:16) And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
(Mat 1:17) 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.
(Mat 1:18) 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.
(Mat 1:19) Then Joseph her husband, being a just {man}, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
(Mat 1:20) 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.
(Mat 1:21) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
(Mat 1:22) Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
(Mat 1:23) 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.
(Mat 1:24) Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
(Mat 1:25) And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
