Matthew 1

1 The genealogy of Christ, that is, the Messias promised to the fathers. 18 Who was conceived by the holy Ghost, and born of the virgin Marie, when she was betrothed unto Joseph. 20 The Angel satissfieth Joseph’s mind. 21 Why he is called Jesus, and wherefore Emmanuel.
1.The *cbook of the generation of JESUS CHRIST the dson of eDavid, 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 fof Thamar. And *Phares begat Esrom. And Esrom begat Aram.
4.And Aram begat Aminadab. And Aminadab begat Naasson. And Naasson begat Salmon.
5.And Salmon begat Booz of gRachab. And *Booz begat Obed of cording to Matthew 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 Ozias.
9.And Ozias begat hJoatham. And Joatham begat Achaz. And Achaz begat Ezecias.
10.And *Ezecias begat Manasses. And Manasses begat Amon. And Amon begat Josias.
11.And *Josias begat Jacim. And Jacim begate Jechonias and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon.
12.And after they were carried away into Babylon, *Jechonias begat iSalathiel. And *Salathiel begat Zorobabel.
13.And Zorobabel begat Abiud. And Abiud begat Eliacim. And Eliacim 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 Marie, kof whom was born JESUS, that is called lChrist.
17.So 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.
18.¶ Now the birth of JESUS Christ was thus, When as his mother Marie was *betrothed to Joseph, mbefore they came together, she was found nwith child of the holie Ghost.
19.Then Joseph her husband being a ojust man, and not willing to *make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20.But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a p*dream, saying, Joseph the qson of David, fear not to take Marie for thy wife: for that which is conceived in her, is of the holie Ghost.
21.And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt *call his name rJESUS: for he shall *save his people from their sins.
22.And all this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying,
23.*Behold, a virgin shalbe with child, and shall bear a son, and ^they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretion, sGod with us.
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, till she had brought forth her tfirst born son, and he called his name JESUS.

These two are first rehearsed, because Christ was especially promis- ed to come of them and their seed, and therefore Christ commonly was called the son of David, because the promise was more evidently confirmed unto him.

Christ is here called the first born, because she had never none before, and not in respect of any she had after. Neither yet does this word (till) import always a time following: wherein the contrary may be affirmed, as our Saviour, saying, that he will be present with his disciples, till the end of the world, means not, that after this world he will not be with them.
