Matthew 1
Big screen- 1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
- 2Abraham brings forth Isaac; and Isaac brings forth Jacob; and Jacob brings forth Judas and his brethren;
- 3And Judas brings forth Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares brings forth Esrom; and Esrom brings forth Aram;
- 4And Aram brings forth Aminadab; and Aminadab brings forth Naasson; and Naasson brings forth Salmon;
- 5And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab; and Booz brings forth Obed of Ruth; and Obed brings forth Jesse;
- 6And Jesse brings forth David the king; and David the king brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
- 7And Solomon brings forth Roboam; and Roboam brings forth Abia; and Abia brings forth Asa;
- 8And Asa brings forth Josaphat; and Josaphat brings forth Joram; and Joram brings forth Ozias;
- 9And Ozias brings forth Joatham; and Joatham brings forth Achaz; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias;
- 10And Ezekias brings forth Manasses; and Manasses brings forth Amon; and Amon brings forth Josias;
- 11And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
- 12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias brings forth Salathiel; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel;
- 13And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud; and Abiud brings forth Eliakim; and Eliakim brings forth Azor;
- 14And Azor brings forth Sadoc; and Sadoc brings forth Achim; and Achim brings forth Eliud;
- 15And Eliud brings forth Eleazar; and Eleazar brings forth Matthan; and Matthan brings forth Jacob;
- 16And Jacob brings forth Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
- 17So 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.
- 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was likewise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
- 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
- 20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
- 21And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
- 22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
- 23Behold, 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.
- 24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
- 25And had sexual contact with her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
