The
Gospel of MATTHEW
Chapter 1
|
|
1:1 The book
of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham.
|
|
1:2 Abraham
begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
Judas and his brethren;
|
|
1:3 And
Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
|
|
1:4 And Aram
begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
Naasson begat Salmon;
|
|
1:5 And
Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz 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 Urias;
|
|
1:7 And
Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and
Abia begat Asa;
|
|
1:8 And Asa
begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
begat Ozias;
|
|
1:9 And
Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and
Achaz begat Ezekias;
|
|
1:10 And
Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
|
|
1:11 And
Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the
time they were carried away to Babylon:
|
|
1:12 And
after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and Salathiel begat
Zorobabel;
|
|
1:13 And
Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
Eliakim begat Azor;
|
|
1:14 And
Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc 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 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
