Matthew 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷So 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.

¹⁸Now 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.

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

²⁰But 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.

²¹And 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,

²³Behold, 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.)

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

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