1 The book of the agenealogy of Jesus Christ, bthe Son of David, cthe Son of Abraham:  
2 aAbraham begot Isaac, bIsaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot cJudah and his brothers.  
3 aJudah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, bPerez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram.  
4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon.
5 Salmon begot aBoaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,  
6 and aJesse begot David the king. bDavid the king begot Solomon by her1 who had been the wife of Uriah.  
7 aSolomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot bAbijah, and Abijah begot Asa.  
8 Asa begot aJehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot bUzziah.  
9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot aAhaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah.  
10 aHezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot bJosiah.  
11 aJosiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were bcarried away to Babylon.  
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, aJeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot bZerubbabel.  
13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor.
14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud.
15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob.

Matthew 1:3

Phares and Zara - The remarkable history of these twins may be seen, Genesis 38: Some of the ancients were of opinion, that the evangelist refers to the mystery of the youngest being preferred to the eldest, as prefiguring the exaltation of the Christian Church over the synagogue. Concerning the women whose names are recorded in this genealogy, see the note at the end of the chapter, (Matthew 1:25 (note)).
