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'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

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

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

John Trapp

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
