1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. ERV — Matthew 1:1
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; ERV — Matthew 1:2
3 and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; ERV — Matthew 1:3
4 and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; ERV — Matthew 1:4
5 and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; ERV — Matthew 1:5
6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah; ERV — Matthew 1:6
7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; ERV — Matthew 1:7
8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; ERV — Matthew 1:8
9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; ERV — Matthew 1:9
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; ERV — Matthew 1:10
11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon. ERV — Matthew 1:11
12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; ERV — Matthew 1:12
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; ERV — Matthew 1:13
14 and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; ERV — Matthew 1:14
15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; ERV — Matthew 1:15
16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. ERV — Matthew 1:16
17 So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations. ERV — Matthew 1:17
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. ERV — Matthew 1:18
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. ERV — Matthew 1:19
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an 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. ERV — Matthew 1:20
21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. ERV — Matthew 1:21
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, ERV — Matthew 1:22
23 Behold, the 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. ERV — Matthew 1:23
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; ERV — Matthew 1:24
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS. ERV — Matthew 1:25
