   Matthew Chapter 1   
      
   1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, 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   
   Salmon;   
      
   5 And Salmon 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 had been 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 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 Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were   
   carried away to Babylon:   
      
   12 And after they were brought to 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,   
   who is called Christ.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make   
   her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.   
      
   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.   
      
   21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:   
   for he shall save his people from their sins.   
      
   22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of   
   the Lord by the prophet, saying,   
      
   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.   
      
   24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had   
   bidden him, and took unto him his wife:   
      
   25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he   
   called his name JESUS.   
      
   Matthew Chapter 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,   
      
   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.   
      
   3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all   
   Jerusalem with him.   
      
   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.   
      
   5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written   
   by the prophet,   
      
   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.   
      
   7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them   
   diligently what time the star appeared.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.   
      
   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.   
      
   12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to   
   Herod, they departed into their own country another way.   
      
   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.   
      
   14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and   
   departed into Egypt:   
      
   15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled   
   which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I   
   called my son.   
      
   16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was   
   exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in   
   Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,   
   according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.   
      
   17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,   
      
   18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great   
   mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,   
   because they are not.   
      
   19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a   
   dream to Joseph in Egypt,   
      
   20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into   
   the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.   
      
   21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into   
   the land of Israel.   
      
   22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of   
   his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being   
   warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:   
      
   23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be   
   fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.   
      
   Matthew Chapter 3   
      
   1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of   
   Judaea,   
      
   2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.   
      
   3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The   
   voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,   
   make his paths straight.   
      
   4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern   
   girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.   
      
   5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region   
   round about Jordan,   
      
   6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.   
      
   7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his
