Matthew Chapter 1

1The bookG976 of the generation of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the sonG5207 of DavidG1138, the sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.

2AbrahamG11 begat IsaacG2464; and IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384; and JacobG2384 begat JudahG2455 and his brethren; 3and JudahG2455 begat PerezG5329 and Zerah of Tamar; and PerezG5329 begat HezronG2074; and HezronG2074 begat RamG689; 4and RamG689 begat AmminadabG284; and AmminadabG284 begat NahshonG3476; and NahshonG3476 begat SalmonG4533; 5and SalmonG4533 begat BoazG1003 of Rahab; and BoazG1003 begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat JesseG2421; 6and JesseG2421 begat DavidG1138 the kingG935.

And DavidG1138 begat SolomonG4672 of her that had been the wife of Uriah; 7and SolomonG4672 begat RehoboamG4497; and RehoboamG4497 begat AbijahG7; and AbijahG7 begat Asa; 8and Asa begat JehoshaphatG2498; and JehoshaphatG2498 begat JoramG2496; and JoramG2496 begat UzziahG3604; 9and UzziahG3604 begat JothamG2488; and JothamG2488 begat AhazG881; and AhazG881 begat HezekiahG1478; 10and HezekiahG1478 begat ManassehG3128; and ManassehG3128 begat Amon; and Amon begat JosiahG2502; 11and JosiahG2502 begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to BabylonG897.

12And after the carrying away to BabylonG897, Jechoniah begat ShealtielG4528; and ShealtielG4528 begat ZerubbabelG2216; 13and ZerubbabelG2216 begat AbiudG10; and AbiudG10 begat EliakimG1662; and EliakimG1662 begat AzorG107; 14and AzorG107 begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat AchimG885; and AchimG885 begat EliudG1664; 15and EliudG1664 begat EleazarG1648; and EleazarG1648 begat MatthanG3157; and MatthanG3157 begat JacobG2384; 16and JacobG2384 begat JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, of whom was bornG1080 JesusG2424, who is called ChristG5547.

17So all the generationsG1074 from AbrahamG11 unto DavidG1138 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; and from DavidG1138 unto the carrying awayG575 to BabylonG897 fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; and from the carrying awayG575 to BabylonG897 unto the ChristG5547 fourteenG1180 generationsG1074.

18NowG1161 the birth of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1510 on this wise: When his motherG3384 MaryG3137 had beenG1510 betrothedG3423 to JosephG2501, before they cameG4905 togetherG4905 she wasG1510 foundG2147 with child of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 19And JosephG2501 her husbandG435, beingG1510 a righteousG1342 manG435, and not willingG2309 to make her a public example, wasG1510 minded to put her awayG630 privily. 20But when he thought on these thingsG3778, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appeared unto him in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 not to takeG3880 unto thee MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: for that which isG1510 conceived in her isG1510 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 21And she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207; and thou shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JESUSG2424; for it is he that shall saveG4982 his peopleG2992 from their sinsG266. 22NowG1161 all this is comeG1096 to passG1096, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LordG2962 through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, GodG2316 with us. 24And JosephG2501 arose from his sleepG5258, and did as the angelG32 of the LordG2962 commandedG4367 him, and tookG3880 unto him his wifeG1135; 25and knewG1097 her not till she had brought forthG5088 a sonG5207: and he calledG2564 his nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
