1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers;
1:3 And Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron and Hezron begat Ram;
1:4 And Ram begat Amminidab; and Amminidab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
1:5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
1:7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
1:8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
1:9 And Uzziah begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
1:10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
1:11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
1:13 And Zerubbabel begat Abihud; and Abihud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
1:14 And Azor begat Zadok; and Zadok begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
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.
1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.
1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, decided to put her away privately.
1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
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.
1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
