Matthew:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The genealogy of Jesus Christ ,
son of David ,
son of Abraham .
*
Abraham begat Isaac ;
and Isaac begat Jacob ;
and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers .
*
And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah ,
by Tamar .
And Pharez begat Hezron ;
and Hezron begat Ram ;
*
and Ram begat Amminadab ;
and Amminadab begat Nahshon ;
and Nahshon begat Salmon ;
*
and Salmon begat Boaz by Rahab .
And Boaz begat Obed by Ruth .
And Obed begat Jesse ;
*
and Jesse begat David the king .
And David begat Solomon by the wife of Uriah .
*
And Solomon begat Rehoboam ;
and Rehoboam begat Abijah ;
and Abijah begat Asa ;
*
and Asa begat Jehoshaphat ;
and Jehoshaphat begat Joram ;
and Joram begat Uzziah ;
*
and Uzziah begat Jotham ;
and Jotham begat Ahaz ;
and Ahaz begat Hezekiah ;
*
and Hezekiah begat Manasseh ;
and Manasseh begat Amon ;
and Amon begat Josiah ;
*
and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers ,
at the time of the removal to Babylon .
*
And after the removal to Babylon ,
Jeconiah begat Shealtiel ;
and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel ;
*
and Zerubbabel begat Abiud ;
and Abiud begat Eliakim ;
and Eliakim begat Azor ;
*
and Azor begat Zadok ;
and Zadok 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 to the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations ;
and from the removal to Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations .
*
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner .
When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph ,
before they came together ,
she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit .
*
Then Joseph her husband ,
being righteous ,
and not willing to expose her to shame ,
purposed to put her away privately .
*
But while he thought on these things ,
lo !
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream ,
saying ,
Joseph ,
son of David ,
fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife ;
for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit .
*
And she will bear a son ,
and thou shalt call his name Jesus ;
for he will save his people from their sins .
*
Now all this took place ,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet ,
saying ,
* "
Behold ,
the virgin shall be with child ,
and shall bear a son ,
and they shall call his name Immanuel ;"
that is ,
when interpreted ,
God
is with
us .
*
Then Joseph ,
on waking up from sleep ,
did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him ,
and took to him his wife ;
*
and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son :
and he called his name Jesus .
