Matthew 1:12-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

13. and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor,

14. and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud,

15. and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,

16. and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17. So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
