So 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.

So {G3767} all {G3956} the generations {G1074} from {G575} Abraham {G11} to {G2193} David {G1138} are fourteen {G1180} generations {G1074}; and {G2532} from {G575} David {G1138} until {G2193} the carrying away {G3350} into Babylon {G897} are fourteen {G1180} generations {G1074}; and {G2532} from {G575} the carrying away {G3350} into Babylon {G897} unto {G2193} Christ {G5547} are fourteen {G1180} generations {G1074}.

Thus there were fourteen generations from Avraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian Exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian Exile to the Messiah.

In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.

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.
