LO - Matthew - 1

1:1  The History of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

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

1:3  Judah had Pharez and Zarah by Tamar. Pharez begot Ezrom. Ezrom begot Aram.

1:4  Aram begot Aminidab. Aminidab begot Nashon. Nashon begot Salmon.

1:5  Salmon had Boaz by Rahab. Boaz had Obed by Ruth. Obed begot Jesse.

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

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

1:8  Asa begot Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat begot Joram. Joram 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 had Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time of the migration into Babylon.

1:12  After the migration into Babylon, Jeconiah begot Salathiel. Salathiel begot Zerubbabel.

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

1:14  Azor begot Zadoc. Zadoc 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 to David are fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon, fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen.

1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

1:19  Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.

1:20  But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.

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

1:22  In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,

1:23  "Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.

1:24  When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;

1:25  but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
