Josiah was the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers (born at the time of the exile to Babylon).

Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

All those listed above include fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah.

Matt 1:18

18 This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matt 1:19

Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.

Matt 1:20

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Matt 1:21

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Matt 1:22

All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:

Matt 1:23

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

Matt 2:2

“Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”

Matt 2:4

He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”

Matt 2:8

Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”

Matt 2:9

After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was.

Matt 2:12

When it was time to leave, they returned to their own country by another route, for God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod.

Matt 2:13

13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,” the angel said. “Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”

Matt 2:16

Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance.

Matt 2:18

“A cry was heard in Ramah — weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.”

Matt 2:19

19 When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

Matt 2:20

“Get up!” the angel said. “Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead.”

Matt 2:21

So Joseph got up and returned to the land of Israel with Jesus and his mother.

Matt 2:22

But when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod’s son Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee.

Matt 3:1

1 In those days John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was,

Matt 3:2

“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”

Matt 3:5

People from Jerusalem and from all of Judea and all over the Jordan Valley went out to see and hear John.

Matt 3:7

But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to watch him baptize, he denounced them. “You brood of snakes!” he exclaimed. “Who warned you to flee the coming wrath?

Matt 3:8

Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.

Matt 3:9

Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.

Matt 3:10

Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.

Matt 3:11

“I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am — so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Matt 3:12

He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”

Matt 3:13

13 Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.

Matt 3:14

But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,” he said, “so why are you coming to me?”

Matt 3:15

But Jesus said, “It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him.

Matt 4:1

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.

Matt 4:3

During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

Matt 4:5

Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple,

Matt 4:6

and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”

Matt 4:8

Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

Matt 4:9

“I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”

Matt 4:12

12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

Matt 4:13

He went first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

Matt 4:17

From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”

Matt 4:19

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

Matt 4:21

Matt 4:24

News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed — he healed them all.

Matt 5:2

and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes

Matt 5:15

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.

Matt 5:16

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Matt 5:17

17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.

Matt 5:19

So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
