[47] 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; [14] 3 and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; [15] 4 and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; [15] 5 and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; [15] 6 and Jesse begat David the king.
[23] 7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; [13] 8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; [13] 9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; [13] 10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; [13] 11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
[14] 12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; [13] 13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; [12] 14 and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; [12] 15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; [12] 16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
[18] 17 So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.
[23] 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. [27] 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. [28] 20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. [29] 21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. [27] 22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, [20] 23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel;
[23] 24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; [21] 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
