The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 1:17

Such is Matthew's introduction to his Gospel. And in concluding this genealogy, which immediately places Jesus the Christ into the center before the minds and hearts of his readers, he gives a brief summary according to the divisions of Jewish history: v. 17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David until the carrying away into Babylon are tour-teen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. The three... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 1:1-17

PART FIRSTJesus comes into this world, as the Messiah of the true Theocracy, to fulfil the Old Covenant. He remains unknown to and unrecognized by the outward and secular Theocracy of His day. Rejected and cast out by His own, He undertakes secretly His first Messianic pilgrimage into Egypt. But He is glorified and attested by God._____________FIRST SECTIONPROPHETIC TYPES OF THE MESSIAH, IN THE GENEALOGY OF THE MESSIAHMatthew 1:1-17 (Luke 3:23-38)Contents:—1. Superscription.—2.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 1:1-17

the Line by Which Messiah Came Matthew 1:1-17 The enumeration of our Lord’s ancestors, with its threefold division into fourteen generations and evident gaps, was probably so arranged to aid the memory. Notice that, in unison with the general purpose of the writer, the line is traced to Abraham through David the king. Of course we know that Joseph was only the reputed father of Jesus, Matthew 1:18 ; but in any case this genealogy conformed to Hebrew usage and explained how the birth took... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 1:1-25

The Gospel of Matthew portrays Jesus as King. It reveals Him as realizing in His Person, and enunciating in His teaching the great principles which had been the peculiar deposit and glory of the ancient people. They were created a nation for the revelation of the beauty and beneficence of the Kingdom of Heaven established on earth, and in this Gospel the King is seen and heard, enunciating its laws, distributing its benefits, and laying its foundations in His life and death. The first verse... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 1:16-25

The Christmas Message Matthew 1:16-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We here present one of the great omissions of the Bible, which constitutes one of the great proofs that Christ was virgin born. The earlier verses of the first chapter of Matthew present the genealogy of Joseph, and husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called the Christ. 1. Since Joseph was not the father of Jesus, why was it necessary for God the Spirit to give us the details of his genealogy? It was for this cause: Joseph,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:1-17

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION TO JESUS THE CHRIST (1:1-17). The introduction to the Gospel is in the form of a genealogy which indicates that Jesus is ‘the son of David’ and ‘the son of Abraham’. This description reveals His descent from, and intimate connection with, two of the greatest figures in salvation history. Indeed we might even say the two figures around whom salvation history pivots. For great though others like Moses may have been, they were never the foundations on whom the promises... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:2-16

The Pre-History (Genealogy) Of Jesus The Messiah (1:2-16). The genealogy of Jesus now follows being in reverse order to Matthew 1:1. Matthew 1:1; Matthew 1:1 refers from Jesus the Messiah back to His sources in David and Abraham, while Matthew 1:2-16 are in chronological order, referring forward from Abraham and revealing the onflowing of sacred history. Abraham is followed by Judah, from whom the sceptre will come (Genesis 49:10), is followed by David ‘the King’, is followed by ‘Jesus the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:12-16

‘And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.’ We now have the final list of fourteen names from the Exile to Jesus the Christ. Israel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:17

‘So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.’ The pattern of ‘fourteen’, deliberately brought about by omitting names, is now emphasised. The idea is probably of ‘seven intensified’, indicating here divine perfection (compare the ‘fourteen’ made up of two seven year periods in Genesis 31:41). The further threefoldness would... read more
