1The Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham. 2Abraham begot Isaac; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers; 3and Judah begot Perez and Zerah from Tamar; and Perez begot Hezron; and Hezron begot Ram; 4and Ram begot Amminadab; and Amminadab begot Nahshon; and Nahshon begot Salmon; 5and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab; and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth; and Obed begot Jesse; 6and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the wife of Uriah; 7and Solomon begot Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begot Abijah; and Abijah begot Asaph; 8and Asaph begot Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begot Joram; and Joram begot Uzziah; 9and Uzziah begot Jotham; and Jotham begot Ahaz; and Ahaz begot Hezekiah; 10and Hezekiah begot Manasseh; and Manasseh begot Amos; and Amos begot Josiah; 11and Josiah begot Jehoiachin and his brothers at the Babylonian Exile. 12And after the Babylonian Exile, Jehoiachin begot Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel; 13and Zerubbabel begot Abiud; and Abiud begot Eliakim; and Eliakim begot Azor; 14and Azor begot Zadok; and Zadok begot Achim; and Achim begot Eliud; 15and Eliud begot Eleazar; and Eleazar begot Matthan; and Matthan begot Jacob; 16and Jacob begot Joseph; and Joseph begot Jesus, who is called Christ, from Mary. 17So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian Exile were fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian Exile to the Christ were fourteen generations.
