Chapter 1 | |
1 | The
book of the 1generation of Jesus Christ, the 2son of David, the son of
Abraham.
|
2 | Abraham begat
1Isaac; and Isaac begat 2Jacob; and Jacob begat 3Judas and his brethren;
|
3 | And Judas begat 1Phares and Zara
of Thamar; and Phares begat 2Esrom; and Esrom begat 3Aram;
|
4 | And Aram begat 1Aminadab; and Aminadab
begat 2Naasson; and Naasson begat 3Salmon;
|
5 | And Salmon begat 1Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of
Ruth; and Obed begat 2Jesse;
|
6 |
And Jesse begat 1David the king; and David the king begat 2Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias;
|
7 | And Solomon begat 1Roboam; and Roboam begat 2Abia; and Abia begat
3Asa;
|
8 | And Asa begat
1Josaphat; and Josaphat begat 2Joram; and Joram begat 3Ozias;
|
9 | And Ozias begat 1Joatham; and Joatham
begat 2Achaz; and Achaz begat 3Ezekias;
|
10 | And Ezekias begat 1Manasses; and Manasses begat 2Amon;
and Amon begat 3Josias;
|
11 |
And Josias begat 1Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon:
|
12 |
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat 1Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat 2Zorobabel;
|
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 1espoused 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 publick example,
was minded to 1put her away privily.
|
20 | But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
LORD appeared unto him in a 1dream, 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
2Holy Ghost.
|
21 | And she
shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
1aJESUS: 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 | 1Behold, 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 1firstborn son: and he called
his name JESUS.

(a) Jesus = "Savior". The Name "Jesus" is from Greek "Iesous" (Strongs #2424), from the Hebrew
word "Yehowshuwa" (Strongs #3091) - meaning "Jehovah-saved".
