Chapter 01 - Birth of Iesus

1 The book of the generation of Yesseus (Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham).

2 Abraham begat Isaac; and 

Isaac begat Jacob; and 

Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara (of Thamar); and 

Phares begat Esrom; and 

Esrom begat Aram;

4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and 

Aminadab begat Naasson; and 

Naasson begat Salmon;

5 And Salmon begat Booz (of Rachab); and 

Booz begat Obed (of Ruth); and 

Obed begat Jesse;

6 And Jesse begat David (the king); and 

David (the king) begat Solomon (of her that had been the wife of Urias);

7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and 

Roboam begat Abia; and 

Abia begat Asa;

8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and 

Josaphat begat Joram; and 

Joram begat Ozias;

9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and 

Joatham begat Achaz; and 

Achaz begat Ezekias;

10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and 

Manasses begat Amon; and 

Amon begat Josias;

11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren (about the time they were carried away to Babylon):

12 And after they were brought to Babylon, 

Jechonias begat Salathiel; and 

Salathiel begat Zorobabel;1

13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and 

Abiud begat Eliakim; and 

Eliakim begat Azor;

14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and 

Sadoc begat Achim; and 

Achim begat Eliud;

15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and 

Eleazar begat Matthan; and

Matthan begat Jacob;

16 And Jacob begat Joseph (the husband of Mary), of whom was born Iesus (who is called Christ).

17 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.

18 Now the birth of Iesus (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).2

19 Then Joseph (her husband) being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 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.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yesseus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled (which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet) saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel3 (which being interpreted is, God with us).

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the Angel (of the Lord) had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name YESSEUS.
