Matthew, Chapter 1

1. The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, -- Son of David, Son of Abraham.    2. Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;    3. And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;    4. And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;    5. And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;    6. And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;    7. And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;    8. And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;    9. And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:    10. And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;    11. And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, -- upon the removal to Babylon.    12. And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;    13. And Zerubbabel 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.    17. So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.    18. Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, -- before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.    19. Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, -- intended, privately, to divorce her.    20. But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, -- Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.    21. Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, -- for, he, will save his people from their sins.    22. But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:    23. Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, -- and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.    24. And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, -- and took unto him his wife;    25. and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, -- and he called his name Jesus.
