40:001:001 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
40:001:002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
Judas and his brethren;
40:001:003 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
40:001:004 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
Naasson begat Salmon;
40:001:005 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
and Obed begat Jesse;
40:001:006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
40:001:007 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
begat Asa;
40:001:008 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
begat Ozias;
40:001:009 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
begat Ezekias;
40:001:010 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon
begat Josias;
40:001:011 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
they were carried away to Babylon:
40:001:012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
40:001:013 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
Eliakim begat Azor;
40:001:014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
Eliud;
40:001:015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
Matthan begat Jacob;
40:001:016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ.
40:001:017 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.
40:001:018 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 Ghost.
40:001:019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
privily.
40:001:020 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 Ghost.
40:001:021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
40:001:022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
