Matthew 1
1:1 The
1
a book of the
b
generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the
c
son of Abraham.
(
1) Jesus Christ came of Abraham of the tribe of
Judah, and of the family of David as God promised.
(
a) Rehearsal: as the Hebrews used to speak; see
(
Genesis
5:1), the book of the generations.
(
b) Of the ancestors from whom Christ came.
(
c) Christ is also the son of Abraham.
1:11
and Josias begat
d Jechonias and his
brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.
(
d) That is, the captivity fell in the days of
Jakim and Jechonias: for Jechonias was born before the carrying away into
captivity.
1:17
All
e the generations, therefore, from
Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying
away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon
unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
(
e) All those who were considered to be in the
lineage of David's family, as they begat one another orderly in turn.
1:18 Now the birth of (
2)
Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to
Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [the] Holy
Spirit.
(
2) Christ is the true Emmanuel, and therefore,
Jesus (that is, Saviour) is conceived in the virgin by the Holy Spirit, as
foretold by the prophets.
1:20 but while he pondered on
these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,
Joseph, son of David, fear not to
f take
to [thee] Mary, thy
g wife, for that
which is
h begotten in her is of [the]
Holy Spirit.
(
f) Receive her from her parents and kinsfolks
hands.
(
g) Who was promised, and made sure to you to be
your wife.
(
h) Of the mother's substance by the Holy
Spirit.
1:21 And she shall bring forth (
3)
a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save
i
his people from their sins.
(
3) Christ is born of the same virgin who never
knew a man: and is named Jesus by God himself through the angel.
(
i) Save, and this shows us the meaning of the
name Jesus.
1:23 Behold, a
k
virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
(
k) There is an article added in the Hebrew and
Greek text, to point out the woman and set her forth plainly: as we would say,
the virgin, or a certain virgin.
1:25 And knew her not
l
till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
(
l) The word "till", in the Hebrew
language, gives us to understand that a thing will not come to pass in time to
come: as Michal had no children "till" her death day, (
2 Samuel
6:23). And in the last chapter of this evangelist: Behold, I am with you
"till" the end of the world.
