1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.2 Abraham brings forth Isaac; and Isaac brings forth Jacob; and Jacob brings forth Judas and his brethren;3 And Judas brings forth Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares brings forth Esrom; and Esrom brings forth Aram;4 And Aram brings forth Aminadab; and Aminadab brings forth Naasson; and Naasson brings forth Salmon;5 And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab; and Booz brings forth Obed of Ruth; and Obed brings forth Jesse;6 And Jesse brings forth David the king; and David the king brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;7 And Solomon brings forth Roboam; and Roboam brings forth Abia; and Abia brings forth Asa;8 And Asa brings forth Josaphat; and Josaphat brings forth Joram; and Joram brings forth Ozias;9 And Ozias brings forth Joatham; and Joatham brings forth Achaz; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias;10 And Ezekias brings forth Manasses; and Manasses brings forth Amon; and Amon brings forth Josias;11 And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias brings forth Salathiel; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel;13 And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud; and Abiud brings forth Eliakim; and Eliakim brings forth Azor;14 And Azor brings forth Sadoc; and Sadoc brings forth Achim; and Achim brings forth Eliud;15 And Eliud brings forth Eleazar; and Eleazar brings forth Matthan; and Matthan brings forth Jacob;16 And Jacob brings forth 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.
