Here is the record of the ancestry of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, a descendant of Much Loved One (David) and of Father of Many Nations (Abraham) .
From Father of Many Nations (Abraham) to Much Loved One (David) , his ancestors were:
Father of Many Nations (Abraham) , He Made Us Laugh (Isaac) , Heel Grabber (Jacob) , Give Him Praise (Judah) and his brothers, He Breaks Through (Perez) and his brother First Light (Zerah) , whose mother was Fruit of Palm Tree (Tamar) , Circle of Tipis (Hezron) , Lifted Up (Ram) , Noble Relative (Amminadab) , Talks with Snakes (Nahshon) , He Makes Peace (Salmon) , Moves with Strength (Boaz) , whose mother was Boastful Woman (Rahab) , He Works Hard (Obed) , whose mother was Beautiful Friend (Ruth) , Original Man (Jesse) , who was the father of the great chief Much Loved One (David) .
From Much Loved One (David) to the removal to Village of Confusion (Babylon) , the ancestors of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) were:
Much Loved One (David) , Stands in Peace (Solomon) , whose mother, Daughter of Seven (Bathsheba) , was the wife of Fire from Creator (Uriah) , Big People Maker (Rehoboam) , He Is My Father (Abijah) , Gathers the People (Asa) , He Makes Wrongs Right Again (Jehoshaphat) , Creator Is Above (Jehoram) , My Great Power (Uzziah) , Creator Has No Equal (Jotham) , Held by Creator (Ahaz) , He Will Be Strong (Hezekiah) , He Made Them Forget (Manasseh) , Burden Bearer (Amon) , Good Medicine (Josiah) , and Chosen by Creator (Jeconiah) and his brothers at the time of the removal to Village of Confusion (Babylon) .
From the removal to Village of Confusion (Babylon) to the birth of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) , his ancestors were:
Chosen by Creator (Jeconiah) , Ask Creator (Shealtiel) , Born in Village of Confusion (Zerubbabel) , Father Boasts in Him (Abihud) , He Builds Up (Eliakim) , He Helps (Azor) , Stands with a Good Heart (Zadok) , Stands Firm (Achim) , Power of Creator (Eliud) , Creator Helps Him (Eleazar) , Gifted by Creator (Matthan) , Heel Grabber (Jacob) , and He Gives Sons (Joseph) , who was the husband of Bitter Tears (Mary) , who gave birth to Creator Sets Free (Jesus) , who is the Chosen One.
And so there were fourteen generations from Father of Many Nations (Abraham) to Much Loved One (David) , fourteen more generations from Much Loved One (David) until the removal to Village of Confusion (Babylon) , and then fourteen more from the removal to Creator Sets Free (Jesus) , the Chosen One.

Here is the story of how the Chosen One was born:
His mother, Bitter Tears (Mary) , had been promised in marriage to He Gives Sons (Joseph) . But before they came together in marriage, while still a virgin, she found out that she was carrying a baby in her womb from the Holy Spirit. He Gives Sons (Joseph) was a man of honor. He did not want to bring her trouble and open shame, so he thought about secretly releasing her from the marriage promise.
As he wondered about these things, a messenger from the Great Spirit appeared to him in a dream and said, “He Gives Sons (Joseph) , descendant of Much Loved One (David) , do not be afraid to take Bitter Tears (Mary) to be your wife, because the Holy Spirit has given her this child. She will give birth to a son. You will name him Creator Sets Free (Jesus) , because he will set his people free from their bad hearts and broken ways.”
This gave full meaning to the words of Creator spoken long ago by the prophet, “A young virgin will be with child and give birth to a son. They will call his name Immanuel, which in our tribal language means Creator Is with Us.”
When He Gives Sons (Joseph) woke up, he followed the guidance given him in the dream and took Bitter Tears (Mary) to be his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until after the child was born, and he named the child Creator Sets Free (Jesus) .
