1 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 Judah and his brethren;3 And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Thamar, and Pharez begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram;4 And Aram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon;5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;6 And Jesse begat David the king.7 And David the king begat Solomon, of the wife of Uriah; And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Jehoram, and Jehoram begat Uzziah;9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zerubbabel; And Zerubbabel begat Abiud,13 and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;14 And Azor begat Zadok, and Zadok 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 to the Babylonish captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonish captivity to Christ are fourteen generations.
