Matthew 1

The Gospel According to Saint Matthew

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.
