| Matthew 1:1 | The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. |
| Matthew 1:2 | Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; |
| Matthew 1:3 | And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; |
| Matthew 1:4 | And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; |
| Matthew 1:5 | And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; |
| Matthew 1:6 | And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; |
| Matthew 1:7 | And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; |
| Matthew 1:8 | And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; |
| Matthew 1:9 | And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; |
| Matthew 1:10 | And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; |
| Matthew 1:11 | And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: |
| Matthew 1:12 | And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; |
| Matthew 1:13 | And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; |
| Matthew 1:14 | And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; |
| Matthew 1:15 | And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; |
| Matthew 1:16 | And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
| Matthew 1:17 | 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. |
| Matthew 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. |
| Matthew 1:19 | Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. |
| Matthew 1:20 | 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. |
| Matthew 1:21 | And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. |
| Matthew 1:22 | Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, |
| Matthew 1:23 | Behold, 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. |
| Matthew 1:24 | Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: |
| Matthew 1:25 | And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. |
| Matthew 2:1 | Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, |
| Matthew 2:2 | Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. |
| Matthew 2:3 | When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. |
| Matthew 2:4 | And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. |
| Matthew 2:5 | And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, |
| Matthew 2:6 | And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. |
| Matthew 2:7 | Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. |
| Matthew 2:8 | And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. |
| Matthew 2:9 | When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. |
| Matthew 2:10 | When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. |
| Matthew 2:11 | And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. |
| Matthew 2:12 | And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. |
| Matthew 2:13 | And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. |
