2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

<>Isaac … Isaac, <>Jacob … Jacob

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;

10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

<>Joseph, <>husband

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.

<>espoused, <>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.

<>v. 19, <>a just man, <>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.

<>the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, <>the Lord appeared, <>in a dream, <>fear not, <>thy wife

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

<>JESUS … 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,

<>vv. 22-23, <>all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord

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.

<>vv. 22-23, <>a virgin

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

<>being raised from sleep, <>did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
