(1) Jesus Christ came of Abraham of the tribe of Judah, and of the stock of David as God promised. (a) Rehearsal: as the Hebrews used to speak; see Gen 5:1, the book of the generations. (b) Of the ancestors from whom Christ came. (c) Which Christ is also the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren. 3 And Judas begat Phares; and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; And Esrom begat Aram. 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Solomon. 5 And Solomon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse. 6 And Jesse begat David the King; and David the King Begat Solomon of her that was the wife of Urias. 7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa. 8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Hozias. 9 And Hozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias. 10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias. 11 And Josias begat Jakim; and Jakim (d) begat Jechonias and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon. (d) That is, the captivity fell in the days of Jakim and Jechonias: for Jechonias was born before their carrying away into captivity. 12 And after they were carried away into Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel. 13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor. 14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud. 15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob. 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, that is called Christ. 17 So (e) all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations; and from David until they were carried away into Babylon, fourteen generations; and after they were carried away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations. (e) All these which are reckoned up in this pedigree of David's stock, as they begat one another orderly in their degrees. 18 Now the birth of (2) Jesus Christ was thus: When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the holy Ghost. (2) Christ is the true Emmanuel, and therefore, Jesus (that is, Savior) is conceived in the virgin by the holy Ghost, as it was foretold by the prophets. 19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, the son of David, fear not to (f) take Mary, thy (g) wife: for that which is (h) conceived in her, is of the holy Ghost. (f) Receive her at her parents and kinsfolk’s hands. (g) Which was promised, and made sure to thee to be your wife. (h) Of the mother's substance by the holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring (3) forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall (i) save his people from their sins. (3) Christ is born of the same virgin which never knew man: and is called Jesus of God himself by the angel. (i) Deliver, and this showeth us the meaning of this name Jesus. 22 And all this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying. 23 Behold, a (k) virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us. (k) There is in the Hebrew and Greek text, an article added to point out the woman and set her forth plainly: as we would say, that virgin, or a certain virgin. 24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had enjoined him, and took his wife. 25 But he knew her not, (l) till she had brought forth her first born son, and he called his name JESUS. (l) This little word Till in the Hebrew tongue, giveth us to understand also, that a thing shall not come to pass in time to come: as Michal had no children Till her death day, 2Sam 6:23 . And in the last chapter of this evangelist: Behold, I am with you Till the end of the world. Matthew 2 1 When (1) Jesus then was born at Bethlehem in (a) Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came (b) Wise men from the East to Jerusalem, (1) Christ a poor child, laid down in a crib, and nothing set by of his own people, receiveth notwithstanding a noble witness of his divinity from heaven, and of his kingly estate of strangers: which his own also unwittingly allow of, although they do not acknowledge him. (a) For there was another in the tribe of Zebulun. (b) Wise and learned men: It is a Persian word which they use in good part. 2 Saying, Where is that King of the Jews that is born? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him. 3 When King Herod heard this, he was (c) troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (c) Was much moved, for he was a stranger, and came to the kingdom by force; and the Jews were troubled; for wickedness is mad and raging. 4 And gathering together all the (d) chief Priests and (e) Scribes of the people, he asked of them, where Christ should be born?
