The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, - Son of David, Son of Abraham.

Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;

And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;

And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;

And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;

And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;

And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;

And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:

And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;

And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, - upon the removal to Babylon.

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

And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;

And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud;

And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob; -

And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, - who is called Christ.

So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
