The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 1:1-15

Matthew 1:1-15The book of the generation.The lessons of Christ’s genealogy1. It is a proof of the reality of Christ’s humanity.2. It suggests the relation of Christ’s work to the whole human race.3. It marks the importance of the birth of Christ as a historical epoch. Let it remind us also(1) Of the shortness of human life;(2) Of the subserviency of persons of every class and character to the purposes of God’s moral government. (G. Brooks.)The double use of genealogies1. A profane use for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 1:12

12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; Ver. 12. And after they were brought to Babylon ] This the Evangelist inculcates, and rings often in the ears of his impious countrymen, as a notorious public judgment on a nation so incorrigibly flagitious, so unthankful for mercies, so impatient of remedies, so incapable of repentance, so obliged, so warned, so shamelessly, so lawlessly wicked, quorum maxima beneficia, flagitia, supplicia, ... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 1:13

13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; Ver. 13. And Zorobabel begat Abiud ] St Luke saith, Rhesa: hence the diversity of number and names. Matthew descends by the posterity of Abiud; Luke, of Rhesa, down to Joseph. And Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor, &c. ] These lived in those calamitous times of the people of God after the Captivity, and were not kings and captains, as being held under by other nations; but law givers they were, as... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 1:14

14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; Ver. 14. And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim ] Of these and the rest, as the Scripture sets down nothing more than their bare names, so neither is there any Jewish record, at this day extant, of their acts. So many miseries they had, one in the neck of another, that little liberty was left them to write; though I doubt not but the posterity of David were then carefully observed by as many as looked for the... read more

15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; Ver. 15. And Eliud begat Eleazar, &c. ] These might be private persons, some of them, as Joseph and Mary were; it being the care and the endeavour of the Herods, and those before, that held the Jews in subjection, to suppress as much as might be the posterity of David, at least to keep them in a low condition; forasmuch as it was a certain and received truth among that people, that "Messiah the Prince" Dan... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 1:16

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Ver. 16. And Jacob begat Joseph ] Whose genealogy is here recorded, and not Mary’s, it being not the custom of that people then to set forth the genealogies of women. As at this day, the Jews have an over-base conceit of that sex; saying that they have not so divine a soul as men, but are of a lower creation, &c., and therefore they suffer them not to enter the synagogue, but appoint them a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 1:17

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Ver. 17. So all the generations, &c., are fourteen generations ] For memory’ sake Matthew summeth up the genealogy of our Saviour into three fourteens ( tessaradecades ): like as some of the Psalms are, for the same reason, set down in order of the alphabet. ... read more
