The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2

Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
Isaac Gen 21:3
Jacob Gen 25:26
Judas Gen 29:35

3

And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
Phares Gen 38:29
Esrom Ruth 4:18, 1st Chron 2:5
Aram Ruth 4:19

And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
Aminadab Ruth 4:19
Naasson 1st Chron 2:10, Exod 6:23
Salmon Ruth 4:20

5

And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Booz Ruth 4:21, 1st Chron 2:12
Jesse Ruth 4:22

6

And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
David 1st Sam 17:12
Solomon 2nd Sam 12:24

7

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
Roboam 1st Kings 11:43,
Abia 1st Kings 14:31,
Asa 1st Kings 15:8

8

And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
Josaphat 2nd Chron 17:1
Joram 2nd Kings 8:16
Ozias 2nd Kings 14:21

9

And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
Joatham 2nd Kings 15:7
Achaz 2nd Kings 15:38
Ezekias 2nd Kings 16:20

10

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
Manasses 2nd Kings 20:21,
Amon 2nd Kings 21:18,
Josias 2nd Kings 21:24

11

And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Jechonias 2nd Kings 24:6, Jer 27:20, Dan 1:2

12

And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
Salathiel 1st Chron 3:17
Zorobabel 1st Chron 3:19, Ezra 3:2, Neh 12:1, Hag 1:1, Matt 1:12

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

And 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; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18

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.
espoused Luke 1:27

19

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
put Deut 24:1-3 Jer 3:1 Matt 5:31, 19:7 Mark 10:4

20

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
dream Gen 20:3, Gen 31:24
Holy Ghost Luke 1:35

21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
JESUS Luke 1:31 Acts 4:12, Acts 13:38

22

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Behold Isa 7:14

24

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
firstborn Exod 13:2 Luke 2:7

Matthew 2

(a) Jesus = "Savior". The Name "Jesus" is from Greek "Iesous" (Strongs #2424), from the Hebrew word "Yehowshuwa" (Strongs #3091) - meaning "Jehovah-saved".
