The Genealogy of Jesus Christ | |||||
Lk. 3.23-38 | |||||
1 |
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. | ||||
2 |
¶ Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; | ||||
3 |
and Judah begat Pharez and Zerah of Tamar; and Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; | ||||
4 |
and Ram begat Ammin’adab; and Ammin’adab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; | ||||
5 |
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; | ||||
6 |
and Jesse begat David the king. ¶ And David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uri’ah; | ||||
7 |
and Solomon begat Rehobo’am; and Rehobo’am begat Abi’jah; and Abi’jah begat Asa; | ||||
8 |
and Asa begat Jehosh’aphat; and Jehosh’aphat begat Jeho’ram; and Jeho’ram begat Uzzi’ah; | ||||
9 |
and Uzzi’ah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezeki’ah; | ||||
10 |
and Hezeki’ah begat Manas’seh; and Manas’seh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josi’ah; | ||||
11 |
and Josi’ah begat Jeconi’ah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon. 2 Kgs. 24.14, 15 · 2 Chr. 36.10 · Jer. 27.20 | ||||
12 |
¶ And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconi’ah begat She-al’ti-el; and She-al’ti-el begat Zerub’babel; | ||||
13 |
and Zerub’babel begat Abi’ud; and Abi’ud begat Eli’akim; and Eli’akim begat Azor; | ||||
14 |
and Azor begat Zadok; and Zadok begat Achim; and Achim begat Eli’ud; | ||||
15 |
and Eli’ud begat Ele-a’zar; and Ele-a’zar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; | ||||
16 |
and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. | ||||
17 |
¶ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. | ||||
The Birth of Jesus Christ | |||||
Lk. 2.1-7 | |||||
18 |
¶ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, Lk. 1.27 before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. | ||||
19 |
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. | ||||
20 |
But while he thought on these things, behold, the 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. | ||||
21 |
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: Lk. 1.31 for he shall save his people from their sins. Ps. 130.8 | ||||
22 |
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, | ||||
23 |
Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
| ||||
which being interpreted is, God with us. | |||||
24 |
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: | ||||
25 |
and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Lk. 2.21 |
