2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;studyinterlinear
3And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;studyinterlinear
4And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;studyinterlinear
5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;studyinterlinear
6And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;studyinterlinear
7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;studyinterlinear
8And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;studyinterlinear

10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;studyinterlinear

17So 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.studyinterlinear
18Now 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.studyinterlinear
19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.studyinterlinear
20But 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.studyinterlinear
21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.studyinterlinear
22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,studyinterlinear
23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.studyinterlinear
24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:studyinterlinear
25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.studyinterlinear
