      | ¶ | The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. | |
| Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; | ||
 | And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; | ||
| And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; | ||
| And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; | ||
| And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias; | ||
| And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; | ||
| And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; | ||
| And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; | ||
| And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; | ||
| And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: | ||
| ¶ | And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; | |
| And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; | ||
| And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; | ||
| And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; | ||
| And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. | ||
 | 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. | ||
 | And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. | ||
| Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, | ||
| 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. | ||
| Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: | ||
| And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. |
