Matthew 1

Studie

1 The book of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.

2 Abraham begot Isaac; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;

3 and Judah begot Perez and Zara of Tamar; and Perez begot Hesrom; and Hesrom begot Aram;

4 and Aram begot Aminadab; and Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon;

5 and Salmon begot Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begot Obed of Ruth; and Obed begot Jesse;

6 and Jesse begot David the king; and David the king begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah;

7 and Solomon begot Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begot Abijah; and Abijah begot Asa;

8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begot Joram; and Joram begot Uzziah;

9 and Uzziah begot Jotham; and Jotham begot Ahaz; and Ahaz begot Hezekiah;

10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh; and Manasseh begot Amon; and Amon begot Josiah;

11 and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the carrying·​·away·​·into Babylon;

12 and after the carrying·​·away·​·into Babylon, Jechoniah begot Salathiel; and Salathiel begot Zerubbabel;

13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud; and Abiud begot Eliakim; and Eliakim begot Azor;

14 and Azor begot Zadok; and Zadok begot Achim; and Achim begot Eliud;

15 And Eliud begot Eleazar; and Eleazar begot Matthan; and Matthan begot Jacob;

16 and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was·​·born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham until David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying·​·away·​·into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying·​·away·​·into Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

18 And the birth of Jesus Christ was in·​·this·​·way: His mother Mary, being betrothed to Joseph, before they came·​·together, was found with child from the Holy Spirit.

19 And Joseph her husband, being just, and not willing to expose· her ·to·​·public·​·infamy, intended to send· her ·away privately.

20 And while he thought on these·​·things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take·​·to·​·thee Mary thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.

21 And she shall bring·​·forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.

22 And all this was·​·done, that it might be fulfilled which was declared by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring·​·forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is, being translated, God with us.*

24 And Joseph, being·​·awakened from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took·​·to·​·him his wife,

25 and knew her not, until she brought·​·forth her firstborn Son; and he called His name Jesus.
