## Matthew 1:12-16 in Context (Verses 9–19 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/matthew/1/9) And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
 
 [10 ](/kjv/matthew/1/10) And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/matthew/1/11) And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/matthew/1/12) And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/1/13) And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/1/14) And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/1/15) And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/1/16) And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/1/17) 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 ](/kjv/matthew/1/18) ¶ 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/1/19) Then Joseph her husband, being a just *man*, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
