1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.[ † ]Luke 3:232 Samuel 7:12-16Psalms 132:11Isaiah 9:6Isaiah 11:1Jeremiah 23:5Matthew 1:18Luke 3:23-31John 7:42Acts 2:30Romans 1:3Revelation 22:16Genesis 12:3Genesis 22:18Galatians 3:16
2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;[ † ]Genesis 21:2-12Genesis 25:26Genesis 28:14Genesis 29:35 3and Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;[ † ]Genesis 38:27Genesis 49:10Ruth 4:18-221 Chronicles 2:1-15Matthew 1:3-6 4and Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5and Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;[ † ]Ruth 2:1Ruth 4:1-13 6and Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;[ † ]1 Samuel 16:1Isaiah 11:1-102 Samuel 7:122 Samuel 12:24Isaiah 9:7 7and Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;[ † ]1 Kings 11:431 Chronicles 3:102 Chronicles 11:20 8and Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;[ † ]1 Chronicles 3:102 Kings 15:13 9and Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;[ † ]2 Kings 15:38 10and Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;[ † ]2 Kings 20:211 Kings 13:2 11and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:[ † ]1 Chronicles 3:15-162 Kings 24:14-16Jeremiah 27:20Matthew 1:17 12and after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;[ † ]1 Chronicles 3:17Ezra 3:2Nehemiah 12:1Haggai 1:1 13and Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.[ † ]Matthew 13:55Mark 6:3
