Matthew:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 . (

conceived :
Gr .
begotten (:

*
And she shall bring forth a son ,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS :
for he shall save his people from their sins . (

JESUS :
that is ,
Saviour ,

*
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 .
