**Verse 1**
*The book of the generation;* the account of the pedigree or ancestry. This genealogy differs in several respects from that of Luke. Matthew, it has been supposed, traces the lineal descent of Joseph; Luke, that of Mary. *The son of David and, the son of Abraham;* that is, descended from Abraham through the royal line of David. A certain degree of importance seems to be attached in the sacred Scriptures to the distinguished birth of the Savior.

**Verse 16**
*Jesus, who is called Christ. Christ* is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word *Messiah,* meaning *the anointed King.* It was a title of dignity, often applied, in the early part of the Old Testament, to other monarchs. In [Daniel 9:25](../../../kjv/daniel/9/25) , it is used to designate the coming Redeemer; and, subsequently, it seems to have been reserved exclusively for this use. It must be kept in mind, therefore, that the proper, personal name, by which the Savior was known during his life, was simply *Jesus,* ([Matthew 1:21](../../../kjv/matthew/1/21) ;) and that whether he was or was not the *Messiah* or *Christ,* was a question of fact for those who knew him to consider. On this distinction depend the point and meaning of such passages as [John 1:41](../../../kjv/john/1/41); and many similar expressions.

**Verse 17**
*Fourteen generations;* that is, *about* fourteen generations; as enumerated above. Many of the actual generations are omitted in the catalogue.

**Verse 18**
*This wise;* this manner.

Verse 22
By the prophet. ([Isaiah 7:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/7/14).) This prediction was recorded more than seven centuries before its fulfilment.
