1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Cross refs
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; Cross refs
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; Cross refs
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; Cross refs
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; Cross refs
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; Cross refs
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; Cross refs
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; Cross refs
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; Cross refs
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; Cross refs
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: Cross refs
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Cross refs
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Cross refs
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. Cross refs
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: Cross refs
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Cross refs
