Webster - Matthew - 1

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 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 Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

1:6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the 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, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

1:12  And after they were brought to 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, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

1:17  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 to Christ [are] fourteen generations.

1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.

1:19  Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away privately.

1:20  But while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,

1:23  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.

1:24  Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:

1:25  And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
