Ch. I.
1 The book note of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,
the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob,
and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 and Judah
note had Phares and Zara by Thamar; and Phares begat
Esrom,
4 and Esrom begat Aram, and Aram begat Aminadab,
and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat
Salmon,
5 and Salmon note had Booz by Rahab, and
Booz note had Obed by Ruth,
6 and Obed begat Jesse, and
Jesse begat David the king, and David note note had Solomon
by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat
Abia,
8 and Abia begat Asa, and Asa begat Josaphat, and
Josaphat begat Joram,
9 and Joram begat Ozias, and
Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and
Ahaz begat Ezechias,
10 and Ezechias begat Manasses,
and Manasses begat Amon,
11 and Amon begat Josias, and
Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias and his
brethren, about the. time note of their being carried away
to Babylon.
12 And after the note captivity of Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel,
13 and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, and Zorobabel
begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat
Azor,
14 and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat
Achim,
15 and Achim begat Eliud, 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 All the generations therefore from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations: and from David until the note captivity
of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the
note Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: note when
Mary his mother was note promised in marriage to Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with child by
the Holy Ghost:
19 but Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined
note to break off the contract with her privately;
20 and
when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel
of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph
thou Son of David, note scruple not to take unto thee Mary
thy wife; for that which is note conceived in her is from
the Holy Spirit.
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 came to pass, that it
might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet note,
saying,
23 “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a
“son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,” which
is note God with us.)
24 So Joseph, when he awoke from his
sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and
took home his wife: and he knew her not, till she
brought forth her Son the note first-born, and he called his
name Jesus.
