1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez
and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of
Ram, 4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of
Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz
by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of King David.
David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7
Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and
Abijah the father of Asa, 8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the
father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 Uzziah the father of
Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10
Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and
Amon the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his
brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 And after the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of
Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 Zerubbabel the father
of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14
Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the
father of Eliud, 15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of
Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of
Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called
Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen
generations, and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations,
and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
