The Genealogy of Jesus
(Luke 3:23–38)

1THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren, 3and Judas begat Phares, and Zara of Thamar, and Phares begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram; 4and Aram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon, 5and Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, 6and Jesse begat David the king, and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias, 7and Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia, and Abia begat Asa, 8and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Ozias, 9and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekias, 10and Hezekias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon, and Amon begat Josias, 11and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon,

12and after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, 13and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor, 14and Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud, 15and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob, 16and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom is born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus
(Luke 2:1–7)

18Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit. 19Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately. 20And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. 22Now the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, 23?A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,? which is being interpreted, God with us. 24Then Joseph when arisen from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife; 25and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.
