Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:1-17

Matthew 1:1-Esther : . The Genealogy of Jesus ( cf. Luke 3:23-Zechariah :).— The Biblical part of this genealogy ( Matthew 1:2-2 Kings :) is taken from 1 Chronicles 1-3, with some help from Ruth 4:18-Proverbs :, 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... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 1:12

This Jechonias 1 Chronicles 3:17-19 is generally thought to be Jehoiachin, the son of Jehoiakin; he is called Jeconiah, 1 Chronicles 3:16, as well as Jehoiachin, 2 Chronicles 36:8; so also he is called Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, Jeremiah 24:1. That this Jechonias begat Salathiel Ezra 3:2; Ezra 5:2; Nehemiah 12:1; Haggai 1:1 appeareth from 1 Chronicles 3:17. It is here objected that God said concerning this Jeconiah, called also Coniah, Write ye this man childless, Jeremiah 22:30 how then... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 1:13-15

Here are divers objections made to this last part of the genealogy, and in a great measure caused from the difference between Matthew and Luke; but I shall not attempt any reconciliation of those differences till I come to Luke 3:23-38. There is no Abiud reckoned amongst the sons of Zorobabel, 1 Chronicles 3:19,1 Chronicles 3:20; and for the others named, we have no certain account of them in any part of the holy writ. From the time of Jehoiakim were above five hundred years to the birth of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 1:16

How Luke cometh to make Joseph the son of Heli we shall inquire (if God please) when we come to his third chapter: but from this verse ariseth a very grave question, viz. How, or wherefore, the evangelist, in deriving the pedigree of Christ, bringeth the line down to Joseph, from whom our Saviour did not descend, being no flesh of his flesh. Christ being the promised Messias, the prophecy, Isaiah 7:14, must be and was fulfilled in him, A virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 1:17

The evangelist, for reasons which we cannot fathom, reduces our Saviour’s progenitors to fourteen in each period of the Jewish state; and in the first period, determining with David, there were no more. In the second, he leaveth out three kings descended from the daughter of Ahab. In the third, which was from the captivity to Christ, there were doubtless more; Luke reckoneth up twenty-four, (taking in Christ for one), and agreeth in very few with Matthew, who was forced to leave out some to... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 1:1-17

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 1:1.—A title, and might be appropriately rendered, genealogy of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham (Morison). Refers, strictly speaking, not to the whole Gospel of St. Matthew, but to the genealogical table in Matthew 1:2-17. The book of the generation.—An essentially Hebrew formula. See Genesis 5:1; Genesis 10:1; Genesis 11:10. The LXX. translate Genesis 5:1 by the phrase used here, βίβλος γενέσεως. The pedigree extracted from the public archives, which were... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 1:16

1 Six Marys 2 of whom was born 3 Christ 1 Six Marys 1 Six Marys are to be distinguished in the N.T.: (1) the mother of Jesus; always clearly identified by the context. (2) Mary Magdalene, a woman of Magdala, " out of whom went seven demons" Luke 8:2 She is never mentioned apart from the identifying word "Magdalene." (3) The mother of James (called "the less," Mark 15:40) and Joses, the apostles. A comparison of ; John 19:25; Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40 establishes the inference that this Mary,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 1:1-25

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

Joseph Sutcliffe

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
