Matthew Chapter 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham fathered Isaac; and Isaac fathered Jacob; and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers;
3 And Judah fathered Phares and Zara of Tamar; and Phares fathered Esrom; and Esrom fathered Aram;
4 And Aram fathered Aminadab; and Aminadab fathered Naasson; and Naasson fathered Salmon;
5 And Salmon fathered Booz of Rachab; and Booz fathered Obed of Ruth; and Obed fathered Jesse;
6 And Jesse fathered David the king; and David the king fathered Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
7 And Solomon fathered Roboam; and Roboam fathered Abia; and Abia fathered Asa;
8 And Asa fathered Josaphat; and Josaphat fathered Joram; and Joram fathered Ozias;
9 And Ozias fathered Joatham; and Joatham fathered Achaz; and Achaz fathered Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias fathered Manasses; and Manasses fathered Amon; and Amon fathered Josias;
11 And Josias fathered Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias fathered Salathiel; and Salathiel fathered Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel fathered Abiud; and Abiud fathered Eliakim; and Eliakim fathered Azor;
14 And Azor fathered Sadoc; and Sadoc fathered Achim; and Achim fathered Eliud;
15 And Eliud fathered Eleazar; and Eleazar fathered Matthan; and Matthan fathered Jacob;
16 And Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Yehoshua (which has been transliterated as Jesus), who is called Messiah.
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 Messiah are fourteen generations.
18 ¶Now the birth of Yehoshua the Messiah (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 Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit .
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Yehoshua (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 told 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 Yehusha (Jesus).
2 Abraham fathered Isaac; and Isaac fathered Jacob; and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers;
3 And Judah fathered Phares and Zara of Tamar; and Phares fathered Esrom; and Esrom fathered Aram;
4 And Aram fathered Aminadab; and Aminadab fathered Naasson; and Naasson fathered Salmon;
5 And Salmon fathered Booz of Rachab; and Booz fathered Obed of Ruth; and Obed fathered Jesse;
6 And Jesse fathered David the king; and David the king fathered Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
7 And Solomon fathered Roboam; and Roboam fathered Abia; and Abia fathered Asa;
8 And Asa fathered Josaphat; and Josaphat fathered Joram; and Joram fathered Ozias;
9 And Ozias fathered Joatham; and Joatham fathered Achaz; and Achaz fathered Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias fathered Manasses; and Manasses fathered Amon; and Amon fathered Josias;
11 And Josias fathered Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias fathered Salathiel; and Salathiel fathered Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel fathered Abiud; and Abiud fathered Eliakim; and Eliakim fathered Azor;
14 And Azor fathered Sadoc; and Sadoc fathered Achim; and Achim fathered Eliud;
15 And Eliud fathered Eleazar; and Eleazar fathered Matthan; and Matthan fathered Jacob;
16 And Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Yehoshua (which has been transliterated as Jesus), who is called Messiah.
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 Messiah are fourteen generations.
18 ¶Now the birth of Yehoshua the Messiah (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 Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit .
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Yehoshua (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 told 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 Yehusha (Jesus).
