Matthew 1:17
Next Verse

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.

Note 3 at Mt. 1:17: The reigns of three kings (see note 2 at Mt. 1:8, p. 4) have been omitted to make these three equal segments of fourteen. This was done in Old Testament genealogies (1 Chr. 1-9).
