1The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ,Son of David, Son of Abraham. 2Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren; 3And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram; 4And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon; 5And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse; 6And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her of Uriah; 7And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa; 8And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah; 9And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah: 10And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah; 11And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren,upon the removal to Babylon. 12And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; 13And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor; 14And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud; 15And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob; 16And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,who is called Christ. 17So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations. 18Now the birth, of Jesus Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph,before they came together, she was found with child by Holy Spirit. 19Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her,intended, privately, to divorce her. 20But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying,Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of , Holy, Spirit. 21Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus,for, he, will save his people from their sins. 22But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying: 23Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us. 24And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him,and took unto him his wife; 25and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son,and he called his name Jesus.
