The Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matt 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
Matt 1:3 And Judas begat Pha´-res and Za´-ra of Tha´-mar; and Pha´-res begat Es´-rom; and Es´-rom begat A´-ram;
Matt 1:4 And A´-ram begat A-min´-a-dab; and A-min´-a-dab begat Na-as´-son; and Na-as´-son begat Sal´-mon;
Matt 1:5 And Sal´-mon begat Bo´-oz of Ra´chab; and Bo´-oz begat O´-bed of Ruth; and O´-bed begat Jesse;
Matt 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of U-ri´-as;
Matt 1:7 And Solomon begat Ro-bo´-am; and Ro-bo´-am begat A-bi´-a; and Abi´-a begat A´-sa;
Matt 1:8 And A´-sa begat Jos´-a-phat; and Jos´-a-phat begat Jo´-ram; and Jo´ram begat O-zi´-as;
Matt 1:9 And O-zi´-as begat Jo´-a-tham; and Jo´-a-tham begat A´-chaz; and A´chaz begat Ez-e-ki´-as;
Matt 1:10 And Ez-e-ki´-as begat Ma-nas´ses; and Ma-nas´-ses begat Amon; and Amon begat Jo-si´-as;
Matt 1:11 And Jo-si´-as begat Jech-o-ni´-as and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Matt 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jech-o-ni´-as begat Sa-la´thi-el; and Sa-la´-thi-el begat Zo-rob´a-bel;
Matt 1:13 And Zo-rob´-a-bel begat A-bi´ud; and A-bi´-ud begat E-li´-a-kim; and E-li´-a-kim begat A´-zor;
Matt 1:14 And A´-zor begat Sa´-doc; and Sa´-doc begat A´-chim; and A´-chim begat E-li´-ud;
Matt 1:15 And E-li´-ud begat E-le-a´-zar; and E-le-a´-zar begat Mat´-than; and Mat´-than begat Jacob;
Matt 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Matt 1:17 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.
Matt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Matt 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
Matt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.
Matt 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Em-man´-uel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matt 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Matt 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS.
