Matthew 1:9

1-17 Concerning this genealogy of our Saviour, observe the chief intention. It is not a needless genealogy. It is not a vain-glorious one, as those of great men often are. It proves that our Lord Jesus is of the nation and family out of which the Messiah was to arise. The promise of the blessing was made to Abraham and his seed; of the dominion, to David and his seed. It was promised to Abraham that Christ should descend from him, Genesis 12:3; Genesis 22:18; and to David that he should descend from him, 2 Samuel 7:12; Psalms 89:3; Psalms 132:11; and, therefor...

These verses contain the genealogy of Jesus. Luke also Luke 3 gives a genealogy of the Messiah. No two passages of Scripture have caused more difficulty than these, and various attempts have been made to explain them. There are two sources of difficulty in these catalogues. * Many names that are found in the Old Testament are here omitted; and, * The tables of Matthew and Luke appear in many points to be different. From Adam to Abraham Matthew has mentioned no names, and Luke only has given the record. From Abraham to David the two tables are alike. Of course there is no difficulty in reconciling these two parts of the tables. The difficulty lies in that part of the genealogy from David to Christ. There they are entirely different. They are manifestly different lines. Not only are the names different, but Luke has mentioned,

EXPOSITION MATTHEW 1:1 JESUS THE CHRIST BY HUMAN ANCESTRY, (Parallel passage: Luke 3:23.) MATTHEW 1:1 THE BOOK OF THE GENERATION. As St. Matthew was writing only for Jews, and they, by reason of their Old Testament prophecies, looked for the Messiah to be born of a certain family, he begins his Gospel with a pedigree of Jesus. In this he mentions, by way of introduction, the two points to which his countrymen would have special regard—the descent of Jesus from David, the founder of the royal line, him in whose descendants the Ruler of Israel must

THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS (_cf._ Luke 3:23). The Biblical part of this genealogy (Matthew 1:2) is taken from 1 Chronicles 1-3, with some help from Ruth 4:18; Genesis 38:16 ff., and other OT passages. It contains devices for assisting the memory, _e.g._ (_a)_ three groups each of fourteen names, though one name is missing from the third group (_cf._ Matthew 1:17); (_b_) the three fourteens may be connected with the number (three) and the numerical value (fourteen) of the letters in the Heb. name David; (_c)_ notes like of Rahab, of Ruth ...

JEROME; In the fourth book of Kings we read, that Ochoezias was the son of Joram. On his death, Josabeth, sister of Ochozias and daughter of Joram, took Joash, her brother's son, and preserved him from the slaughter of the royal seed by Athalias. To Joash succeeded his son Amasias; after him his son Azarias, who is called Ozias; after him his son Joathiam. Thus you see according to historical truth there were three intervening kings, who are omitted by the Evangelist. Joram, moreover, begot not Ozias, but Ochozias, and the rest as we have related. But because it was the purpose of the Eva...
