Tracing the Lineage of Jesus the Messiah (Matthew 1:1–17)

Matthew’s Gospel begins by listing the ancestors of Jesus Christ. It traces three sets of fourteen generations from Abraham to David, from David to the exile in Babylon, and from the exile to Jesus, the Messiah. Key figures appear in this genealogy, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, King David, Solomon, Zerubbabel, Joseph, and Mary. Each name highlights Jesus’s fulfillment of Old Testament promises. This passage underscores the deep roots of Jesus’s heritage and his place in God’s redemptive plan.
