 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.
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, inquired 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.

 Blessed
is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2
 But his delight
is
in the law of the L
ORD
; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3
 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4
 The ungodly
are
not so: but
are
like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5
 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6
 For the L
ORD
knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
1
 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.
2
 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3
 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4
 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5
 A wise
man
will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6
 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
1
 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the L
ORD
God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2
 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3
 but of the fruit of the tree which
is
in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4
 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5
 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6
 And when the woman saw that the tree
was
good for food, and that it
was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7
 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8
 And they heard the voice of the L
ORD
God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the L
ORD
God amongst the trees of the garden.
9
 And the L
ORD
God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
art
thou?
10
 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was
naked; and I hid myself.
11
 And he said, Who told thee that thou
wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12
 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest
to be
with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13
 And the L
ORD
God said unto the woman, What
is
this
that
thou hast done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14
 And the L
ORD
God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15
 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16
 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire
shall be
to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17
 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed
is
the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat
of
it all the days of thy life;
18
 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19
 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou
art,
and unto dust shalt thou return.
20
 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21
 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the L
ORD
God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22
 And the L
ORD
God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23
 therefore the L
ORD
God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24
 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
4:
1
 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the L
ORD
.
2
 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3
 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the L
ORD
.
4
 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the L
ORD
had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5
 but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6
 And the L
ORD
said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7
 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee
shall be
his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8
 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9
 And the L
ORD
said unto Cain, Where
is
Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not:
Am
I my brother's keeper?
10
 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11
 And now
art
thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12
 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13
 And Cain said unto the L
ORD
, My punishment
is
greater than I can bear.
14
 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,
that
every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15
 And the L
ORD
said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the L
ORD
set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16
 And Cain went out from the presence of the L
ORD
, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17
 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18
 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19
 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one
was
Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20
 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and
of such as have
cattle.
21
 And his brother's name
was
Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22
 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain
was
Naamah.
23
 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24
 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25
 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God,
said she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26
 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the L
ORD
.
