(15) The Generations Back to Abraham
Matthew 1:1-17
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.
3Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, Hezron begot Ram, 4Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, Nahshon begot Salmon, 5Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6Jesse begot King David, and King David begot Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife.
7Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, Abijah begot Asa, 8Asa begot Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, Joram begot Uzziah, 9Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot Ahaz, Ahaz begot Hezekiah, 10Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, Amon begot Josiah, 11Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon.
12After they were brought to Babylon: Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel, 13Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, Eliakim begot Azor, 14Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, Achim begot Eliud, 15Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, Matthan begot Jacob, 16and Jacob begot 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 captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
(15) The Generations Back to Abraham
Matthew 1:1-17 (KJV)
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 Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel 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 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.
