| 1:1 | The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. | |
| 1:2 | Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; | |
| 1:3 | And Judah begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; | |
| 1:4 | And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; | |
| 1:5 | And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; | |
| 1:6 | And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her of Uriah; | |
| 1:7 | And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; | |
| 1:8 | And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; | |
| 1:9 | And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; | |
| 1:10 | And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; | |
| 1:11 | And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: | |
| 1:12 | 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; | |
| 1:14 | And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; | |
| 1:15 | And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; | |
| 1:16 | And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. | |
| 1:17 | So all the generations from Abraham to David fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ fourteen generations. | |
| 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit. | |
| 1:19 | Then Joseph her husband, being a just , and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away privately. | |
| 1:20 | But while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit. | |
| 1:21 | And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. | |
| 1:22 | Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, | |
| 1:23 | Behold, 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. | |
| 1:24 | Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife: | |
| 1:25 | And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS. | |
