Matthew 1:1-17
The
Genealogy of Jesus Christ
1:1
A record of the
genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son
of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father
of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah
and his brothers,
3 Judah the father of
Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,
Perez the father of
Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
4 Ram the father of
Amminadab,
Amminadab the father of
Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of
Salmon,
5 Salmon the father of
Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed,
whose mother was Ruth,
Obed the father of Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of
King David.
David was the father of
Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife,
7 Solomon the father of
Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of
Abijah,
Abijah the father of Asa,
8 Asa the father of
Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of
Jehoram,
Jehoram the father of
Uzziah,
9 Uzziah the father of
Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
Ahaz the father of
Hezekiah,
10 Hezekiah the father of
Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of
Amon,
Amon the father of Josiah,
11 and Josiah the father
of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the
exile to Babylon.
12 After the exile to
Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of
Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of
Zerubbabel,
13 Zerubbabel the father
of Abiud,
Abiud the father of
Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of
Azor,
14 Azor the father of
Zadok,
Zadok the father of Akim,
Akim the father of Eliud,
15 Eliud the father of
Eleazar,
Eleazar the father of
Matthan,
Matthan the father of
Jacob,
16and Jacob the father of
Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Thus there were
fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David,
fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and
fourteen from the exile to the
Christ.

Commentary
by Bob Pardue
Jesus from the Line of
Abraham
This is just an introduction
to the Book of Matthew showing the genealogy of
Christ from Abraham to his birth.
Family heratage and lines
were very important to the Jewish people so Matthew
was most likely writing these verses to record
family history.
Love in Christ
