¹ The booke of the generation of Iesus Christ, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

² Abraham begate Isaac, and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob begate Iudas and his brethren.

³ And Iudas begate Phares and Zara of Thamar, and Phares begate Esrom, and Esrom begate Aram.

⁴ And Aram begate Aminadab, and Aminadab begate Naasson, and Naasson begate Salmon.

⁵ And Salmon begat Boos of Rachab, and Boos begate Obed of Ruth, and Obed begate Iesse.

⁶ And Iesse begate Dauid the King, & Dauid the King begat Solomon of her that had bin the wife of Urias.

⁷ And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begate Abia, and Abia begate Asa.

⁸ And Asa begate Iosaphat, and Iosaphat begate Ioram, and Ioram begate Ozias.

⁹ And Ozias begat Ioatham, and Ioatham begate Achas, and Achas begate Ezekias.

¹⁰ And Ezekias begate Manasses, and Manasses begate Amon, and Amon begate Iosias.

¹¹ And Iosias begate Iechonias and his brethren, about the time they were caried away to Babylon.

¹² And after they were brought to Babylon, Iechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begate Zorobabel.

¹³ And Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begate Azor.

¹⁴ And Azor begat Sadoc, & Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud.

¹⁵ And Eliud begate Eleazar, and Eleazar begate Matthan, and Matthan begate Iacob.

¹⁶ And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, who is called Christ.

¹⁷ So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourteene generations: and from Dauid vntill the carying away into Babylon, are foureteene generations: and from the carying away into Babylon vnto Christ, are fourteene generations.

¹⁸ ¶ Now the birth of Iesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Ioseph (before they came together) shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.

¹⁹ Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily.

²⁰ But while hee thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his Name Iesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.

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

²³ Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.)

²⁴ Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, & tooke vnto him his wife:

²⁵ And knewe her not, till shee had brought forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name Iesus.

The birth of Jesus Christ was so amazing and full of humbleness.

Matheka Gerald's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/28/2013, 4:51pm...

I believe that the bible is very clear that jesus was the lamb of God which was to take away the sins of the world through his death but i can see today's world still in doubts strungling to cover themselves with good works in the eyes of men.

LINDA CROOK's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/26/2013, 3:42pm...

Muzi's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/25/2013, 1:35am...

Joseph was not a normal men, if what he heard from the angel and what he saw happen to his wife that he loved so much. surely the spirit of God was in this men. otherwise if it was me, i would failed. he JO. had so much grace from God and filled with mercy. i respect this Men ,he actually scared the devil to death.

Alade Aniwapele's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/22/2013, 1:36pm...

What God promised after the fall in the garden of Eden, He brought to pass through different personalities and generations- and that is according to Biblical record.This,is distinctly noticeable through the lineage that Jesus Christ came through- that led to His incarnation. What a great and mighty God,that we serve!

Sonsolomon Mokopfi's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/12/2013, 2:16am...

The birth of Christ was the only way back to glory and God’s purpose for the entire world.

Robert's Matthew Chapter 1 comment on 4/09/2013, 1:48pm...

Though the lineage leading to Christs' birth was not perfect...He changed all that by the sacrificing of His Innocent blood, and in so doing offers salvation to all mankind. The new covenant with man.
