* The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ , the son of David , the son of Abraham . * Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren ; * And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of 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 of Rahab ; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ; * And Jesse begat David the king ; and David the king begat Solomon of her 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 brethren , about the time they were carried away to Babylon : (note :)Josiah …: some read , Josiah begat Jehoiakim , and Jehoiakim begat Jeconiah (:note ) * And after they were brought to Babylon , Jeconiah begat Shealtiel ; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel ; * And Zerubbabel 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 fourteen generations ; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations ; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ fourteen generations . * Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner : When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph , before they came together , she was found with child by the Holy Spirit . * Then Joseph her husband , being a just , and not willing to make her a public example , purposed to put her away secretly . * But while he thought on these things , behold , the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream , saying , Joseph , thou son of David , fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife : for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit . (note :)conceived : Gr . begotten (:note ) * And she shall bring forth a son , and thou shalt call his name JESUS : for he shall save his people from their sins . (note :)JESUS : that is , Saviour , Heb (:note ) * Now all this was done , that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from 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 . (note :)they …: or , his name shall be called (:note ) * Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him , and took to him his wife : * And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son : and he called his name JESUS .
