Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:18-25

SECTION 2. THE BIRTH AND RISE OF JESUS THE MESSIAH (THE CHRIST) (1:18-4:25). In this section, following the introduction, Matthew reveals the greatness of Jesus the Christ. He will now describe the unique birth of Jesus, the homage paid to Him by important Gentiles, His exile and protection in Egypt followed by His subsequent bringing forth out of Egypt to reside in lowly Nazareth, His being drenched with the Holy Spirit as God’s beloved Son and Servant, His temptations in the wilderness which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:22

‘Now all this is come about that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,’ Here we have the first prophetic formula, and yet this one shares its uniqueness with one other, for it is only here and in Matthew 2:15 that it is said to be ‘spoken by the Lord’. Matthew is very careful in his use of formulae (see introduction), and while he is quoting Isaiah here he does not mention his name. The mention of Isaiah’s name is reserved for a special section of... read more

Matthew 1:18-Lamentations : . The Birth of the Messiah.— In Mt., Joseph has the principal rô le; in Lk., Mary. Six inspired dreams are narrated in Mt., three of them with “ the angel of Yahweh.” Five are in chs. 1 and 2, the sixth in Matthew 27. Early writers like Justin Martyr claimed credence for the virgin birth of Jesus because records of pagan religion were full of similar marvels. Philo is witness for similar Jewish beliefs about the patriarchs. One curious early idea was that Mary... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 1:22-23

By these great acts of Divine Providence, that which was spoken and prophesied of by Isaiah, Isaiah 7:14, speaking by inspiration from God, was fulfilled. Though things are said in the evangelists to be fulfilled when the types have had their accomplishment in the antitype, and when something cometh to pass much like, or bearing some proportion to, something which before happened in the world, (as I shall show hereafter), yet I take the sense of being fulfilled here to be literally fulfilled;... read more

Let's get into the Gospel According To Matthew.Matthew was a tax collector in Capernaum before he was called by Jesus Christ to be a disciple. He was also called Levi. And he opens his gospel by giving to us the genealogy of Jesus Christ back to Abraham, as he said in chapter one, verse one,The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham ( Matthew 1:1 ).Now the Lord had promised to Abraham, "through thy seed shall all of the nations of the earth be blessed"(... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 1:1-25

Matthew 1:1 . The book of the generation, or rather the genealogy, of Jesus Christ. This is the Hebraical mode of writing. Moses says, Genesis 5:1, This is the book of the generations of Adam. Jesus, a Saviour, was his proper name. Christ, the anointed, the Messiah, was his surname of dignity and office, as prophet, priest, and king. This genealogy was no doubt taken from the public records among the jews, neither the evangelist Matthew nor Luke is responsible for omissions of names, or... read more
