The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

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 Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;

4

and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon 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. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

7

and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;

8

and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram 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 Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

12

And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

13

and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

14

and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc 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 unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.
