The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

¹A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

²Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren,

³and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram,

⁴and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

⁵and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,

⁶and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah's,

⁷and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa,

⁸and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah,

⁹and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah,

¹⁰and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah,

¹¹and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal.

¹²And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,

¹³and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,

¹⁴and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,

¹⁵and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,

¹⁶and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.

¹⁷All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus

¹⁸And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

¹⁹and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.

²⁰And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,

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

²²And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²³`Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted `With us [he is] God.'

²⁴And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

²⁵and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

The Proclamation of Cyrus

¹And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah from the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²`Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;

³who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, God of Israel -- He [is] God -- that [is] in Jerusalem.

⁴`And every one who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, assist him do the men of his place with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.'

The Temple Vessels Restored and the Return Prepared

⁵And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even every one whose spirit God hath waked, to go up to build the house of Jehovah, that [is] in Jerusalem;

⁶and all those round about them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that hath been offered willingly.

⁷And the king Cyrus hath brought out the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar hath brought out of Jerusalem, and putteth them in the house of his gods;

⁸yea, Cyrus king of Persia bringeth them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbereth them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

⁹And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver a thousand, knives nine and twenty,

¹⁰basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.

¹¹All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole hath Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the removal from Babylon to Jerusalem.

Preface to Theophilus

¹The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

²till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

³to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

⁴And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he,] `Ye did hear of me;

⁵because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.'

The Ascension of Jesus and the Promise of His Return

⁶They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'

⁷and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

⁸but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'

⁹And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

¹⁰and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,

¹¹who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'

The Disciples Devoted to Prayer in the Upper Room

¹²Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;

¹³and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;

¹⁴these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas

¹⁵And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁶`Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

¹⁷because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

¹⁸this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,

¹⁹and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,

²⁰for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.

²¹`It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.'

²³And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,

²⁴and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two

²⁵to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'

²⁶and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
