* The book of the generation of Jesus Christ , the son of David , the son of Abraham . * Abraham brings forth Isaac ; and Isaac brings forth Jacob ; and Jacob brings forth Judas and his brethren ; * And Judas brings forth Phares and Zara of Thamar ; and Phares brings forth Esrom ; and Esrom brings forth Aram ; * And Aram brings forth Aminadab ; and Aminadab brings forth Naasson ; and Naasson brings forth Salmon ; * And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab ; and Booz brings forth Obed of Ruth ; and Obed brings forth Jesse ; * And Jesse brings forth David the king ; and David the king brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias ; * And Solomon brings forth Roboam ; and Roboam brings forth Abia ; and Abia brings forth Asa ; * And Asa brings forth Josaphat ; and Josaphat brings forth Joram ; and Joram brings forth Ozias ; * And Ozias brings forth Joatham ; and Joatham brings forth Achaz ; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias ; * And Ezekias brings forth Manasses ; and Manasses brings forth Amon ; and Amon brings forth Josias ; * And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren , about the time they were carried away to Babylon : * And after they were brought to Babylon , Jechonias brings forth Salathiel ; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel ; * And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud ; and Abiud brings forth Eliakim ; and Eliakim brings forth Azor ; * And Azor brings forth Sadoc ; and Sadoc brings forth Achim ; and Achim brings forth Eliud ; * And Eliud brings forth Eleazar ; and Eleazar brings forth Matthan ; and Matthan brings forth Jacob ; * And Jacob brings forth 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 likewise : When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph , before they came together , she was found with child of the Holy Spirit . (o . pneuma ) * Then Joseph her husband , being a just man , and not willing to make her a public example , was minded to put her away privately . * But while he thought on these things , behold , the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream , saying , Joseph , you son of David , fear not to take unto you Mary your wife : for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit . (o . pneuma ) * And she shall bring forth a son , and you shall 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 had sexual contact with her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son : and he called his name JESUS .
