Book 40 Matthew 40:001:001 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 40:001:002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 40:001:003 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 40:001:004 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 40:001:005 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 40:001:006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 40:001:007 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 40:001:008 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 40:001:009 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 40:001:010 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 40:001:011 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 40:001:012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 40:001:013 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 40:001:014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 40:001:015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 40:001:016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 40:001:017 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 unto Christ are fourteen generations. 40:001:018 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 40:001:019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 40:001:020 But while he thought on these things, behold, the 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 Ghost. 40:001:021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
