Matthew 1:1–17

The ^abook of the generation of Jesus Christ, ^bthe son of David, ^cthe son of Abraham. ^2dAbraham begat ^eIsaac; and Isaac begat ^fJacob; and ^gJacob begat Judas and his brethren; ³And ^hJudas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and ⁱPhares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; ⁴And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; ⁵And Salmon begat Booz of ^kRachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; ⁶And ^lJesse begat David the king; and ^mDavid the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; ⁷ⁿAnd Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; ⁸And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; ⁹And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; ¹⁰And ^oEzekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; ¹¹And ^||pJosias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time ^qthey were carried away to Babylon: ¹²And after they were brought to Babylon, ^rJechonias begat ^sSalathiel; and Salathiel begat ^stZorobabel; ¹³And Zorobabel 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.
