Matthew 1:1

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Matthew 1:2

¶

Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

Matthew 1:16

and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

Matthew 1:17

¶

So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations,

and from David

to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations,

and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

Matthew 1:18

¶

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:19

And her husband Joseph,

being a just man

and

unwilling to put her to shame,

resolved to divorce her quietly.

Matthew 1:20

But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:21

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Matthew

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

Matthew 1:23

¶

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Immanuel”

¶

(which means, God with us).

Matthew 1:24

When Joseph woke from sleep,

he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him:

he took his wife,

Matthew 1:25

but

knew her not

until she had given birth to a son.

And he called his name Jesus.

Matthew 2:1

¶

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

Matthew 2:2

saying,

“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?

For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Matthew 2:3

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

Matthew 2:4

and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

Matthew 2:5

They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

Matthew 2:6

¶

“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,

are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;

for from you shall come a ruler

who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

Matthew 2:7

¶

Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.

Matthew 2:8

And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”

Matthew 2:9

After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen wh
