Anderson - Matthew - 1

1:1  The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

1:2  Abraham begot Isaac: Isaac begot Jacob: Jacob begot Judah and his brothers:

1:3  Judah begot Phares and Zarah of Thamar: Phares begot Hezron: Hezron begot Aram:

1:4  Aram begot Aminidab: Aminidab begot Nahshon: Nahshon begot Salmon:

1:5  Salmon begot Boa of Rachab: Boaz begot Obed of Ruth: Obed begot Jesse:

1:6  Jesse begot David the king: David the king begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah:

1:7  Solomon begot Rehoboam: Rehoboam begot Abia: Abia begot Asa:

1:8  Asa begot Jehosaphat: Jehosaphat begot Jehoram: Jehoram begot Uzziah:

1:9  Uzziah begot Jotham: Jotham begot Ahaz: Ahaz begot Hezekiah:

1:10  Hezekiah begot Manasseh: Manasseh begot Amon: Amon begot Josiah:

1:11  Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time of the removal to Babylon.

1:12  And after the removal to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel: Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel:

1:13  Zerubbabel begot Abiud: Abiud begot Eliakim: Eliakim begot Azor:

1:14  Azor begot Sadok: Sadok begot Achim: Achim begot Eliud:

1:15  Eliud begot Eleazar: Eleazar begot Matthan: Matthan begot Jacob:

1:16  Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

1:17  So all the generations from Abraham till David are fourteen generations: and from David till the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations: and from the removal to Babylon till the Christ are fourteen generations.

1:18  But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

1:19  Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.

1:20  But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

1:21  And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.

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

1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us.

1:24  And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,

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