Matthew 1

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

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

3 Judah begat Perez and Zara, of Thamar. Perez begat Esrom. Esrom begat Aram.

4 Aram begat Amminadab. Ammin-adab begat Naasson. Naasson begat Salmon.

5 Salmon begat Boaz, of Rachab. Boaz begat Obed, of Ruth. Obed begat Jesse.

6 Jesse begat David the king. David the king begat Solomon, of her that was Uriah’s wife.

7 Solomon begat Rehoboam. Reho-boam begat Abia. Abia begat Asa.

8 Asa begat Jehoshaphat. Jehosha-phat begat Joram. Joram begat Uzziah.

9 Uzziah begat Joatham. Joatham begat Ahaz. Ahaz begat Hezekiah.

10 Hezekiah begat Manasseh. Manas-seh begat Amon. Amon begat Josiah.

11 Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, into the transmigration of Babylon.

12 And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechoniah begat Salathiel. Salathiel begat Zerubbabel.

13 Zerubbabel begat Abiud. Abiud begat Eliakim. Eliakim begat Azor.

14 Azor begat Zadok. Zadok begat Achim. Achim begat Elihud.

15 Elihud begat Eleazar. Eleazar begat Matthan. Matthan begat Jacob.

16 Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, that is called Christ.

17 And so all the generations from Abraham to David be fourteen generations, and from David to the transmigration of Babylon be fourteen generations, and from the trans-migration of Babylon to Christ be fourteen generations.
