Matthew 1:1-17
Jubilee Bible 2000
1 ¶ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; Isaac begat Jacob; Jacob begat Judas and his brothers;
3 Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; Phares begat Esrom; Esrom begat Aram;
4 Aram begat Aminadab; Aminadab begat Naasson; Naasson begat Salmon;
5 Salmon begat Booz {Greek word for “Boaz”} of Rachab; Booz begat Obed of Ruth; Obed begat Jesse;
6 Jesse begat David the king; David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 Solomon begat Roboam; Roboam begat Abia; Abia begat Asa;
8 Asa begat Josaphat; Josaphat begat Joram; Joram begat Ozias;
9 Ozias begat Joatham; Joatham begat Achaz; Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Ezekias begat Manasses; Manasses begat Amon; Amon begat Josias;
11 Josias begat Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon;
12 after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zorobabel begat Abiud; Abiud begat Eliakim; Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azor begat Sadoc; Sadoc begat Achim; Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliud begat Eleazar; Eleazar begat Matthan; Matthan begat Jacob;
16 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; from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; from the carrying away into Babylon unto the Christ are fourteen generations.
