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.
