The King James Version Bible

Matthew 1:10-18

  1. And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

  2. And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

  3. And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

  4. And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

  5. And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;

  6. And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

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

  8. 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.

  9. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
