Chapter 1
1. That Jesus is that Messiah, the Saviour promised to the
Fathers. 18. The Nativity of Christ.
The *1a Book of the b generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the c son of Abraham.
2 *Abraham begat Isaac. *And Isaac
begat Jacob. And *Jacob begat Judah and his brethren.
3 *And Judah begat Pharez, and Zarah
of Tamar. And *Pharez begat Hesron. And Hesron begat Ram.
4 And Ram begat Amminadab. And
Amminadab begat Nahshon. And Nahshon 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 the King begat Solomon of her that was the wife of
Uriah.
7 And *Solomon begat Rehoboam. And
Rehoboam begat Abijam. And Abijam begat Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat. And
Jehoshaphat begat Jehoram. And Jehoram begat Joash.
9 And Joash 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 Jehoiakim. * And
Jehoiakim d begat Jechonias and his
brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were carried away
into Babylon, *Jechonias begat Salaltiel. *And Salaltiel 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, that is called Christ.
17 So e all
the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen
generations. And from David until they were carried away into
Babylon, fourteen generations: and after they were carried away into
Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations.
18 ¶ Now the birth of
2 Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother
Mary was * betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a
just man, and not willing to * make her a public example, was minded
to put her away secretly.
20 But whiles he thought these
things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph the son of David, fear not to
f take Mary thy g
wife: for that which is h conceived in her,
is of the Holy Ghost,
21 And she shall bring
3 forth a son, and thou shalt * call his
Name Jesus: for he shall *i save his people
from their sins.
22 And all this was done that it
might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet,
saying,
23 * Behold, a
j virgin shall be with child, and shall
bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by
interpretation, God with us.
24 ¶ Then Joseph, being raised from
sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had enjoined him, and took his
wife.
25 But he knew her not,
k till she had brought forth her first born
son, and he called his name Jesus.
