Matthew 1:1-17

1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

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

3And Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez 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 that had been the wife of Uriah;

7And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abjah 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 Jechoniah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Sheatiel; and Sheatiel begat Zerubbabel;

13And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

14And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc 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 born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17So 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.
