Mat_01_03 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; ~

Mat_01_04 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; ~

Mat_01_05 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; ~

Mat_01_06 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias; ~

Mat_01_07 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; ~

Mat_01_08 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; ~

Mat_01_11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: ~

Mat_01_12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; ~

Mat_01_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. ~

Mat_01_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 Ghost. ~

Mat_01_19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. ~

Mat_01_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 Ghost. ~

Mat_01_21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. ~

Mat_01_22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, ~

Mat_01_23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. ~

Mat_01_24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: ~

Mat_01_25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. ~
