The Gospel According to St. Matthew
{1:1} The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
{1:2} Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
Judah and his brethren; {1:3} and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar;
and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; {1:4} and Ram begat
Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; {1:5}
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse; {1:6} and Jesse begat David the king.
And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
{1:7} and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah
begat Asa; {1:8} and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat
Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; {1:9} and Uzziah begat Jotham; and
Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; {1:10} and Hezekiah begat
Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; {1:11} and
Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying
away to Babylon.
{1:12} And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat
Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; {1:13} and Zerubbabel begat
Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; {1:14} and Azor
begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; {1:15} and
Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat
Jacob; {1:16} and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was
born Jesus, who is called Christ.
{1:17} So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen
generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ
fourteen generations.
{1:18} Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his
mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she
was found with child of the Holy Spirit. {1:19} And Joseph her husband,
being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away privily. {1:20} But when he thought on these
things, behold, an 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. {1:21}
And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS;
for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. {1:22} Now all
this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
