From Matthew: 1:1* ¶ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham.
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.AND Luke 1:26* And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27* To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28* And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.
29* And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and
cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30* And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.
31* And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32* He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father
David:
33* And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know
not a man?
35* And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born
of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36* And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was
called barren.
37* For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38* And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto
me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.AND: 2:1* ¶ And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2* (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4* And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
7* And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no
room for them in the inn.
8* And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9* And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
12* And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13* And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14* Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16* And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
17* And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.
19* But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.
20* And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto
them.
21* And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising
of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22* And when the days of her purification according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present him to the Lord;
23* (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24* And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the
law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25* And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the
consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26* And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27* And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom
of the law,
28* Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29* Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
to thy word:
30* For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31* Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32* A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which
were spoken of him.
34* And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in
Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35* (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the
thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36* And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of
Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37* And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day.
38* And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the
Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem.
39* And when they had performed all things according to the law
of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40* And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
