Tree of Jesse


Matthew 1, 1, 17

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

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.
