Matthew 1 King James Version 1611

• 1 The booke of the generation of Iesus Christ, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

• 2 Abraham begate Isaac, and Isaac begate Iacob, and Jacob begate Iudas and his brethren.

• 3 And Iudas begate Phares and Zara of Thamar, and Phares begate Esrom, and Esrom begate Aram.

• 4 And Aram begate Aminadab, and Aminadab begate Naasson, and Naasson begate Salmon.

• 5 And Salmon begate Booz of Rachab, and Booz begate Obed of Ruth, and Obed begate Iesse.

• 6 And Iesse begate Dauid the king, & Dauid the king begate Solomon of her that had bin the wife of Vrias;

• 7 And Solomon begate Roboam, and Roboam begate Abia, and Abia begate Asa.

• 8 And Asa begate Iosaphat, and Iosaphat begate Ioram, and Ioram begate Ozias.

• 9 And Ozias begate Ioatham, and Ioatham begate Achas, and Achas begate Ezekias.

• 10 And Ezekias begate Manasses, and Manasses begate Amon, and Amon begate Iosias.

• 11 And Iosias begate Iechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

• 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel, and Salathiel begate Zorobabel.

• 13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud, and Abiud begate Eliakim, and Eliakim begate Azor.

• 14 And Azor begate Sadoc, & Sadoc begate Achim, and Achim begate Eliud.

• 15 And Eliud begate Eleazar, and Eleazar begate Matthan, and Matthan begate Iacob.

• 16 And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, who is called Christ.

• 17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourteene generations: and from Dauid vntill the carrying away into Babylon, are fourteene generations: and from the carrying away into Babylon vnto Christ, are fourteene generations.

• 18 Now the birth of Iesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Ioseph (before they came together), shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.

• 19 Then Ioseph her husband, being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily.

• 20 But while hee thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, fear not to take vnto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her is of the holy Ghost.

• 21 And she shall bring forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his Name Iesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.

• 22 (Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying,

• 23 Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)

• 24 Then Ioseph being raised from sleepe did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, & took vnto him his wife:

• 25 And knewe her not, till shee had brought forth her first borne sonne: and he called his name Iesus.
