1 The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ,—^[1]

Son of David, Son of Abraham.

²

|Abraham| begat Isaac､

And |Isaac| begat Jacob,

And |Jacob| begat Judah､ and his brethren;

³

And |Judah| begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah､

And |Perez| begat Hezron,

And |Hezron| begat Ram;

⁴

And |Ram| begat Amminadab､

And |Amminadab| begat Nashon,

And |Nashon| begat Salmon;

⁵

And |Salmon| begat Boaz of Rahab､

And |Boaz| begat Obed of Ruth,

And |Obed| begat Jesse;

⁶

And |Jesse| begat ||David the King||.

And |David| begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;

⁷

And |Solomon| begat Rehoboam､

And |Rehoboam| begat Abijah,

And |Abijah| begat Asa;

⁸

And |Asa| begat Jehoshaphat､

And |Jehoshaphat| begat Joram,

And |Joram| begat Uzziah;

⁹

|And Uzziah| begat Jotham､

And |Jotham| begat Ahaz,

And |Ahaz| begat Hezekiah:

¹⁰

And |Hezekiah| begat Manasseh､

And |Manasseh| begat Amon,

And |Amon| begat Josiah;

¹¹

And |Josiah| begat Jechoniah, and his brethren,—upon the removal to Babylon.

¹²

And <after the removal to Babylon> |Jechoniah| begat Shealtiel, And |Shealtiel| begat Zerubbabel;

¹³

And |Zerubbabel| 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 then <all´ the generations from Abraham unto David> are |fourteen| generations,

And <from David unto the removal to Babylon> |fourteen| generations;

And <from the removal to Babylon､ unto the Christ> |fourteen| generations.

§ 2. The Birth.

¹⁸Now the birth ||of [Jesus] Christ|| was |thus|: His mother Mary having been |betrothed| to |Joseph|,—|before they came together| she was found with child by |the| Holy Spirit.

¹⁹Moreover ||Joseph her husband|| being |righteous|, and yet unwilling to expose her,—intended |privately| to divorce her.²⁰ But <when |these things| he had pondered> lo! ||a messenger^[2] of the Lord|| |by dream| appeared to him､ saying,—

Joseph､ son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for <that which |in her| hath been begotten> is of [the] |Holy| Spirit.

²¹

Moreover she shall bring forth a son､ and thou shalt call his name Jesus,^[3]—for |he|^[4] will save his people from their sins.

²²But ||all this|| hath come to pass､ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord､ through the prophet､ saying:

²³

Lo! ||a^[5] Virgin|| shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,—and they shall call his name Emmanuel^[6];

which is､ being translated,God with us.

²⁴And Joseph､ |awaking| from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him,—and took unto him his wife; ²⁵ and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son,^[7]—and he called his name Jesus.

§ 3. The Visit of the Wise Men.

2Now <when |Jesus| was born in Bethlehem of Judæa､ in the days of Herod the king> lo! |wise men from eastern parts| came into Jerusalem: ² saying—

Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.

³But <when King Herod heard> he was troubled, and all´ Jerusalem with him; ⁴ <and <assembling all´ the high-priests and scribes of the people> he was enquiring of them—

Where is |the Christ| to be born?
