The Genealogy of Jesus

Ruth 4:18–22; Luke 3:23–38

1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.+ 2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;+ 3and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;+ 4and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;+ 5and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;+ 6and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;+ 7and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;+ 8and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;+ 9and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;+ 10and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;+ 11and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.+ 12And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;+ 13and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.+ 17So 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.+

The Birth of Jesus

Isaiah 7:10–16; Luke 2:1–7

18Now 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 Spirit.+ 19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.+ 20But 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 Spirit.+ 21And 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.+ 22Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,+ 23Behold, 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.+ 24And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;+ 25and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.+
