AFV2020 - Matthew - 1

1:1  The book of the genealogy 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 Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

1:4  And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;

1:5  And Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

1:6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of the one who had been wife of Uriah;

1:7  And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

1:8  And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

1:9  And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

1:10  And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

1:11  And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

1:12  And after the captivity in Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

1:13  And Zorobabel 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, from whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ.

1:17  So then, all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

1:18  And the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: Now His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph; but before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

1:19  And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to expose her publicly, was planning to divorce her secretly.

1:20  But as he pondered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife, because that which has been begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

1:21  And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins."

1:22  Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

1:23  "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel"; which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

1:24  And when Joseph was awakened from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and took his wife to wed;

1:25  But he did not have sexual relations with her until after she had given birth to her Son, the firstborn; and he called His name Jesus.
