==Commentary==
:''See Also [[Matthew 1:1 Commentary]]'' 

Matthew 1:1 is the opening verse of the first chapter of the [[Gospel of Matthew]] in the [[New Testament]]. Since [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] is traditionally placed as the first of the four Gospels, this verse commonly serves as the opening to the entire [[New Testament]]. It is a sentence without a verb and is more of a heading for what follows in [[Matthew 1:18|verse 18]]. 

Matthew 1:1 is a small but significant part of 100's of fulfilled Old Testament prophecies concerning the Jewish Messiah. In [[Genesis 3:15]], 4,000 years before it came to pass, it was spoken that the Seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head. In [[Genesis 22:18]], Abraham was told, “in thy seed shall all nations of he earth be blessed.” This descendant or Seed, would be an Israelite of the tribe of Judah, the kingly tribe Matthew 1:1); of the seed of David ([[2 Samuel 7|2 Samuel 7:12-13]]); the exact place of His birth, Bethlehem of Judea, was foretold ([[Micah 5:2]]), as was the very time of the Messiah's appearing ([[Genesis 49:10]]) and future appearing ([[Daniel 9|Daniel 9:24-26]]). Then there were the prophecies of His rejection by His own kinsmen ([[Isaiah 53:2|Isaiah 53:2-3]]); they despised their long-awaited King, the very Hope of Israel. These prophecies were predicted centuries before, and details about His death and its very manner were fulfilled to the letter. There were over 50 prophecies precisely fulfilled on the day of the crucifixion alone! The prophecies of Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 with the New Testament accounts of the crucifixion are common examples of New Testament literature in the Old Testament.

===The book===
[[Βίβλος]] is translated as ‘The’ book and not simply ‘Book’ due to the normal use of [[anarthrous nouns]] in titles. This negates the need for [[italics]] here in the article ‘the.’ [[Anarthrous nouns]] are generally translated into [[English]] with the [[Article %28grammar%29#Indefinite article|indefinite article]] ("a, an"). There are some [[anarthrous nouns]] which are [[qualitative]] and are often translated without an article. "Anarthrous," in grammar, simply means without the article. In [[English]] we have both the [[definite article]] (‘the’) and the [[indefinite article]] (‘a’), but in Greek there is no indefinite article. 

The ending of this noun, -os, tells us that it is nominative in case.

[[Βίβλος]] is the inner bark of the [[papyrus]] plant which was made into a written book, a sheet, or scroll of writing. There are seven meanings revealed in scripture:
:'''1)''' It is firstly used here as a book, or scroll (Matthew 1:1), 
:'''2)''' concerning the [[Pentateuch]] as the "book of [[Moses]]" in [[Mark 12:26]], 
:'''3)''' regarding "the book of the words of Isaiah" that [[Jesus]] read from in [[Luke 3:4]], 
:'''4)''' the "book of Psalms" in [[Luke 20:42]] and also in [[Acts 1:20]], 
:'''5)''' as "the book of the prophets" in [[Acts 7:42]], 
:'''6)''' as "the Book of Life" in [[Philippians 4:3]], [[Revelation 3:5]], [[Revelation 20:15|20:15]] 
:'''7)''' and of secular writings in [[Acts 19:19]].

:''See Also [[Scriptures Containing 976]]''

The [[English]] word [[Bible]] stems from the [[Greek]] [[Βίβλος]]. Interestingly the [[English]] word [[paper]] comes from [[papyrus]], via Latin, from Greek πάπυρος papyros. The Greek writer Theophrastus, who flourished during the 4th century BC, uses papuros when referring to the plant used as a foodstuff and bublos for the same plant when used for non-food products, such as cordage, basketry, or a writing surface. The more specific term βίβλος biblos, which finds its way into English in such words as bibliography, bibliophile, and bible, refers to the inner bark of the papyrus plant. Papyrus is also the etymon of paper, a similar substance. A folio, borrowed from Latin foliō, is the ablative singular form of folium (“a leaf; a sheet or leaf of paper”), related to foliage. 

The Greek word for papyrus as writing material (biblion) and book (biblos) came from the ancient port of Byblos (Lebanese Arabic pronunciation Gebal), which is a Mediterranean city in the Mount Lebanon Governorate, Lebanon. Gubal appears in the Hebrew Bible under the name Geval (Hebrew: גבל‎). This name means "boundary", "district" or "mountain peak":

* The ancients of '''Gebal''' and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. [[Ezekiel 27:9]] ([[KJV]])

In the [[New International Version]], it is paraphrased as Byblos:
* Veteran craftsmen of '''Byblos''' were on board as shipwrights to caulk your seams. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to trade for your wares. [[Ezekiel 27:9]]  ([[NIV]])

The Ancient Greek Βύβλος, whence we get our modern Byblos, was the interpretation of Gebal. Papyrus received its early Greek name βύβλος (bublos) from its importation from Egypt to Greece to the Aegean through this city. The Ancient Greek words βίβλος, diminutive βιβλίον (biblos, biblion), plural βίβλοι, diminutive βιβλία (bibli, biblia), and ultimately the word "Bible" ("the (papyrus) book") hence the Holy Bible, derive from that name.

During the Old Egyptian Kingdom, Byblos was virtually an Egyptian colony. First Dynasty tombs used timbers from Byblos. One of the oldest Egyptian words for an oceangoing boat was “Byblos ship”.  Many ancient Egyptian objects have been found at Byblos.

Because Beech wood tablets were a common writing material in Germanic societies before the development of paper, the [[Old English]] bōc and [[Old Norse]] bók both have the primary sense of “beech” but also a secondary sense of “book,” and it is from bōc that the modern word book derives. In modern [[German]], the word for “book” is Buch, with Buche meaning “beech tree.” In the [[Swedish language]], these words are the same, bok meaning both “beech tree” and “book.”

Similarly, in [[Slavic languages]] (for example, [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], [[Macedonian language|Macedonian]]) "буква" (bukva—"letter") is cognate with "beech". In Russian and in [[Serbian language|Serbian]] and Macedonian, the word "букварь" (bukvar') or "буквар" (bukvar) refers specifically to a primary school textbook that helps young children master the techniques of reading and writing.
It is thus conjectured that the earliest [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] writings may have been carved on beech wood. Similarly, the Latin word ''codex'', meaning a book in the modern sense (bound and with separate leaves), originally meant "block of wood".

=====Theodore Beza=====
In his 1598 annotations Beza says:
:Liber, biblos. i. recensio, Hebreoru idiotismo, ut Gen 5:1, 30 (Hebrew) [Sepher tholedoth.] quanuis istudsit plurale, & posteros desigent, hoc vero singulare, ut Christi (greek) proslogus declaret. Subauditur autem, Hic est, vel aliquid eiusmodi:vt sit hic titulus non totius historiae, sed seqentis genealoiae. na etiam hoc totu, (greek) biblos geneseus, nihil, aliud quam generis serie declarat. Cicero similiter libellu nominu dixit. 

=====Edward Leigh=====
Edward Leigh (1602-1671) said:

:The Booke] This first word of the first Evangelist, is a Greeke word, but in signification Hebrew. It is taken after the manner of the Hebrewes, who Gen. 5.1. have Sepher tholedoth, the booke of the generation, that is, a catalogue or reckoning up, but Moses speakes of the catalogue of the generation of Adam, Matthew of the booke of the generation of Jesus: so that generation is taken there actively, for them which Adam begot, that is, his posteritie; here passively, for those of which Christ is begotten, that is, for the Ancestors of Christ. ([https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A50050.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltext ])

===of the generation===
[[1078|γενέσεως]] of the generation, means something that has been generated, in this case, it is what Jesus Christ has generated. The genealogy beginning in verse 2 mentioned is of Joseph, and not Jesus. Thus the [[New King James Version]]'s translation is in error having "The genealogy of Jesus Christ" because Christ had no genealogy except through His mother (Luke 3). Nowhere else in the New Testament does book refer to anything other than an entire work. So it is erroneous to conclude that it is only concerned with the listed genealogy. 

In the KJV Matthew 1:1 has 'genesis' translated as generation (also translated as nature) never as birth, nor as genealogy, which is a separate and distinct word used in the Pastorals.

100's of "gn" sounding words appear in the etymology of Indo-European languages such as Latin, Greek, and English. The "gn" sounding is usually associated with production, birth or origin, such as genesis, beginning, origin, genetics, progenitors, gender, genitals, pregnancy, progeny, congenial, indigenous, geneus, genre, generation etc. A Latin example would be in [[Matthew 1:25]] where primogenitum is used for firstborn. In Latin, gens means a clan, from Hebrew; Gentiles are foreigners. In Greek there are many even in this first chapter of Matthew with egenesay (from gennao) being translated as begat/begot. Just as Gnat has a silent g, some "gn" sounding words also dropped the g, such as gnoel (noel) in the gnativity (naitivity) song. Other examples are nation, nature, innate, benign (used to mean well born), the opposite was malign - but the g sound is maintained in benignant and malignant.

The exact phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' is used in [[Genesis 5:1|5:1]] in the so called Greek [[Septuagint]]. γενέσεως is used in [[Genesis 2:4]] which is correct because it concerns what originated from God's creation which also may include genealogies of men. Matthew 1:1, is applied to what Christ generated. The [[LXX]] has: 

:αὕτη ἡ '''βίβλος γενέσεως''' οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς ὅτε ἐγένετο ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν [[Genesis 2:4]] 
:αὕτη ἡ '''βίβλος γενέσεως''' ἀνθρώπων ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν αδαμ κατ’ εἰκόνα θεοῦ ἐποίησεν αὐτόν. [[Genesis 5:1]] 
<small>''See Also [[Genesis 37:2]] and [[Numbers 3:1]].''</small>

The ''βίβλος'' in the βίβλος γενέσεως of [[Genesis 2:4]] is an addition. It was probably copied from Matthew 1:1 into this place, erroneously carrying the βίβλος with it.

In [[Hebrew]] the phrase "book of the genealogy" ''sepher toledoth'' (סֵפֶר תֹּולְדֹת) is frequent in Jewish writing. The other genealogy concerning the linage of the family of Jesus appears in [[Luke 3:23]]-[[Luke 3:38|38]]. 

The phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' is not merely a title for the first part of the gospel of Matthew (1-[[Matthew 1:17|17]]), it is a title for the [[Gospel of Matthew]], and perhaps by default for the entire [[New Testament]] itself. It must be noted that the generation of Jesus Christ, applies to everything Christ generated, including His life, death, resurrection, and making of the church. 

=====Cursed Jeconiah=====
Because [[Jeconiah]] was cursed, in no way can the linage of Joseph be part of the linage of Jesus, as many modern versions of the bible mistakenly claim by changing the English reading of "generation" into "genealogy" or "linage."

=====Adam Clarke Commentary=====
Adam Clarke in his commentary said:
:The book of the generation of Jesus Christ - I suppose these words to have been the original title to this Gospel; and that they signify, according to the Hebrew Phraseology, not only the account of the genealogy of Christ, as detailed below, but the history of his birth, acts, sufferings, death, resurrection, and ascension.

:The phrase, book of the generation, תולדות ספר sepher toledoth, is frequent in the Jewish writings, and is translated by the Septuagint, βιβλος γενεσεως, as here, by the evangelist; and regularly conveys the meaning given to it above; e.g. This is the book of the generations of Adam, Genesis 5:1. That is, the account of the life of Adam and certain of his immediate descendants. Again. These are the generations of Jacob, Genesis 37:2. That is, the account or history of Jacob, his son Joseph, and the other remarkable branches of the family. And again. These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, Numbers 3:1. That is, the history of the life and acts of these persons, and some of their immediate descendants. The same form of expression is also used, Genesis 2:4, when giving the history of the creation of heaven and earth.

:Some have translated βιβλος γενεσεως, The book of the genealogy; and consider it the title of this chapter only; but the former opinion seems better founded.

=====Solomon Caesar Malan=====
[[Solomon Caesar Malan]] exposes the false concepts of Alford in his book ''A Plea for the Received Greek Text: And for the Authorized Version of the New Testament in Answer to Some of the Dean of Canterbury's Criticism of Both'':
:Passing over a few trifling matters in the first seventeen verses of this chapter, we come to Dr.  Alford’s reading of v. 18. 
:::Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ ἡ γένησις οὕτως ἦν, on which he says, in his digest, that

:::“γέννησις” of the Received Text, which is a probable correction from the verb so often used before, occurs in L. and the rest.”

:He then gives us his authorities for the change : -—
:::“B C P S Z A, 1 syr. Ath. Eus. Dial-trin. expressly;”

:and adds in his notes that -

:::“''γένησις'' must be understood in a wide sense, as
:nearly identical in meaning with ''γέννησις''; as=‘''origo'',’ not merely ‘ birth,’ ” Mey. It probably is chosen by the Holy Spirit to mark a slight distinction [!] between the ''γέννησις'' of our Lord and that of ordinary men. See Schol. in digest.”

:I. Before examining Dr. Alford’s authorities, let me say one word on the relative meaning of ''γέννησις'' and ''γένησις'', which are not seldom confused by careless Greek writers. Doubtless, according to the scholiast quoted by the Dean, both terms are said ''ἐν ὁσιότητι εἰς Χριστόν'', somewhat as “birth,” “origin,” and “pedigree,” may be said of the same person; though assuredly not in the same sense. Yet, inasmuch as these terms are not applicable to Christ in the same way as they are to every one of us, the fact that Origen, who is supposed to be that scholiast, uses almost exclusively one of those terms, is assuredly not an absolute authority in favour of it; for, in many things, he is not a very safe guide. Let us, then, look at these terms, ''γένησις'' and ''γέννησις'', and judge of them on their own merits.
(1.) As ''γέννησις'' comes from ''γεννάω'', and ''γεννᾷ'' ''ἀνήρ'' ''παῖδα'',<sup>1</sup> it is said of the actual procreation of children, as being (1) begotten by the father (''γέννήτωρ'', ''γέννήτης, ὁ πατήρ<sup>2</sup>), and (2) borne and brought forth by the mother

=====Philip Schaff=====
Schaff in his ''Popular Commentary on the New Testament'' unwittingly reveals were the error originates that genesis simply means birth, the Westcott and Hort text error of having γεννέσίς and not γενέσίς at [[Matthew 1:18]]:
:The book of the generation ('''<u>or, birth, the same word in Greek as in Matthew 1:18). Literally, ‘book of birth, birth-book,’ i.e., pedigree, genealogy. The title of the genealogical table, Matthew 1:1-17, not of the whole Gospel, nor of the first two chapters, nor of chap. 1.</u>''' Possibly the title of an original (Hebrew) document, used by the Evangelist.

=====Dean Burgon=====
In Dean Burgon's book the Revision Revised, he says:

:Not only do the familiar Parables, Miracles, Discourses of our LORD, trip us up at every step, but we cannot open the first page of the Gospel—no, nor indeed read the first line—without being brought to a standstill. Thus,

:1. S. Matthew begins,—The book of the generation of JESUS CHRIST (ver. 1).—Good. But here the margin volunteers two pieces of information: first,—Or, birth: as in ver. 18. We refer to ver. 18, and read—Now the birth of JESUS CHRIST was on this wise. Good again; but the margin says,—Or, generation: as in ver. 1. Are we then to understand that the same Greek word, diversely rendered in English, occurs in both places? We refer to the new Greek Text: and there it stands,—γένεσις in either verse. But if the word be the same, why (on the Revisers' theory) is it diversely rendered?

:In the meantime, who knows not that there is all the difference in the world between S. Matthew's γέΝΕσις, in ver. 1,—and the same S. Matthew's γέΝΝΗσις, in ver. 18? The latter, the Evangelist's announcement of the circumstances of the human Nativity of CHRIST: '''<u>the former, the Evangelist's unobtrusive way of recalling the Septuagintal rendering of Gen. ii. 4 and v. 1:393 the same Evangelist's calm method of guiding the devout and thoughtful student to discern in the Gospel the History of the new Creation,—by thus providing that when first the Gospel opens its lips, it shall syllable the name of the first book of the elder Covenant</u>'''? We are pointing out that it more than startles—it supremely offends—one who is even slenderly acquainted 120with the treasures of wisdom hid in the very diction of the N. T. Scriptures, to discover that a deliberate effort has been made to get rid of the very foremost of those notes of Divine intelligence, by confounding two words which all down the ages have been carefully kept distinct; and that this effort is the result of an exaggerated estimate of a few codices which happen to be written in the uncial character, viz. two of the IVth century (B א); one of the Vth (C); two of the VIth (P Z); one of the IXth (Δ); one of the Xth (S).

:The Versions394—(which are our oldest witnesses)—are perforce only partially helpful here. Note however, that the only one which favoursγένεσις is the heretical Harkleian Syriac, executed in the VIIth century. The Peschito and Cureton's Syriac distinguish between γένεσις in ver. 1 and γέννησις in ver. 18: as do the Slavonic and the Arabian Versions. The Egyptian, Armenian, Æthiopic and Georgian, have only one word for both. Let no one suppose however that therefore their testimony is ambiguous. It is γέννησις (not γένεσις) which they exhibit, both in ver. 1 and in ver. 18.395 The Latin (generatio) is an equivocal rendering certainly: but the earliest Latin writer who quotes the two places, (viz. Tertullian) employs the word genitura in S. Matth. i. 1,—but nativitas in ver. 18,—which no one seems to have noticed.396 Now, Tertullian, (as one who sometimes 121wrote in Greek,) is known to have been conversant with the Greek copies of his day; and his day, be it remembered, is A.D.190. He evidently recognized the parallelism between S. Matt. i. 1 and Gen. ii. 4,—where the old Latin exhibits liber creaturæ or facturæ, as the rendering of βίβλος γενέσεως. And so much for the testimony of the Versions.

:But on reference to Manuscript and to Patristic authority397 we are encountered by an overwhelming amount of testimony for γέννησις in ver. 18: and this, considering the nature of the case, is an extraordinary circumstance. Quite plain is it that the Ancients were wide awake to the difference between spelling the word with one N or with two,—as the little dissertation of the heretic Nestorius398 in itself would be enough to prove. Γέννησις, in the meantime, is the word employed by Justin M.,399—by Clemens Alex.,400—by Athanasius,401—by Gregory of Nazianzus,402—by Cyril Alex.,403—by Nestorius,404—by Chrysostom,405—by Theodorus 122Mopsuest.,406—and by three other ancients.407Even more deserving of attention is it that Irenæus408 (A.D. 170)—(whom Germanus409 copies at the end of 550 years)—calls attention to the difference between the spelling of ver. 1 and ver. 18. So does Didymus:410—so does Basil:411—so does Epiphanius.412—Origen413 (A.D. 210) is even eloquent on the subject.—Tertullian (A.D. 190) we have heard already.—It is a significant circumstance, that the only Patristic authorities discoverable on the other side are Eusebius, Theodoret, and the authors of an heretical Creed414—whom Athanasius holds up to scorn.415 ... Will the Revisionists still pretend to tell us that γέννησις in verse 18 is a plain and clear error?

=====Johannes Piscator=====
Johannes Piscator in Piscator, Analysis (Matt), p. 12 says:
:Liber generationis. βίβλος γενέσεως. Id est, recensio maiorum, quae usitate nominatur genealogia. Phrasis Hebraea, cuius exemplum extat Gen. 5.v.1. quanquam discrimine duplici. nam illic habetur numero plurali, liber generationum: deinde per generationes illic intelliguntur posteri: dicitur enim, liber generationum Adami: et recensentur illic posteri Adami usque ad Noachum. At hic vocabulo generationis intelliguntur maiores: dicitur enim, Liber generationis Iesu Christi, et recensentur maiores Christi, initio facto ab Abrahamo. An vero numerus singularis γενέσεως pro plurali γενέσεων irrepserit (id quod facile fieri potuit) et hic et in versione Graeca loci ex Genesi citati, incertum est. Nomen libri Hebraeum Sépher, proprie videtur significare recensionem: est enim deductum a verbo Saphár, quod significat numerare: sed per metonymiam adiuncti usurpatur ad significandum librum in quo recensio annotatur: ac tum synecdochice ad signficandum quamvis librum. Generatio autem pro iis qui vel generarunt, ut hic: vel generati sunt, ut in Genesi: per metonymiam effecti vel efficientis dicitur. Etenim generatio ut effectum est generantis: ita efficiens est eius qui generatur. <sup>Johannes Piscator, Analysis logica Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.

=====Jehovah's Witnesses=====
The Jehovah's Witnesses (J.W.'s) on their JW.ORG website have the following:
:book of the history: Matthew’s opening words in Greek, Biʹblos ge·neʹse·os (form of geʹne·sis), could also be rendered “historical record” or “record of the genealogy.” The Greek word geʹne·sis literally means “origin; birth; line of descent.” It is used in the Septuagint to render the Hebrew term toh·le·dhohthʹ, which has a similar meaning and is usually rendered “history” in the book of Genesis.—Ge 2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10, 27; 25:12, 19; 36:1, 9; 37:2.
[[Image:Matthew_1_1_Kingdom_Interlinear_Translation_1969.jpg|thumb|right|250px|<small>Appendix note concerning Matthew 1:1 in the [[1969 AD|1969]] Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses</small>]]
The J.W.'s following earlier logic written in the appendix of their [[1969 AD|1969]] Kingdom Interlinear Translation:
:'''Matthew 1:1 - "history"''' 
:(γένεσις, ''gen'e·sis'', Greek; תולדת, ''to·l<sup>e</sup>dōth''', Hebrew) 

: The evident meaning of the Greek word (''gen'e·sis'') here is history. In Matthew 1:1 it occurs in the very same expression as we find in the Greek ''Septuagint Version'' of [[Genesis 2:4]] and [[Genesis 5:1|5:1]], namely, βίβλος γενέσεως (''bib'los ge·ne'se·os''). 
:<u>At [[Genesis 2:4]] the expression could not refer to the generations of the heavens and the earth, because those inanimate creations could not of themselves generate anything.</u> The French Bible version (1939) by Catholic Canon A. Crampon and the Spanish Bible version (1947) by the Jesuit priest J. M. Bover and Prof. F. Canter a Burgos render the original Hebrew expression at [[Genesis 2:4]] as "history," making the text read: "This is the history of the heaven and the earth." That statement there is not an introduction to what follows, but is the conclusion to the preceding account of the creation. At [[Genesis 5:1]] the Crampon Bible version is consistent in rendering the same original expression as "book of the history, making the verse read: "This is the book of the history of Adam." Again it is evident that this statement is a conclusion to the preceding narrative from [[Genesis 2:5]] down to this verse. The Roman Catholic Confraternity's English Bible version of Genesis (1948) uses "story" at [[Genesis 2:4]], and the footnote, in part, says: "Story: or history." Darby's version reads: "histories." 
: The Greek word ''gen'e·sis'' (Hebrew, ''to·l<sup>e</sup>dōth''') occurs also in the plural number, and evidently means "history," at nine other places in the book of Genesis (''Septuagint Version''), namely, at Genesis 6:9; 10:1; 11:10, 27; 25:12, 19; 36:1, 9; 37:2. The last of these verses has puzzled many Bible translators because they thought it introduced a genealogy to follow. But, instead, it serves as a conclusion to the story that precedes, from Genesis 36:9 to this verse; and again the Crampon Bible version renders the Hebrew original (''ge·ne'seis'', [[LXX]]) as "history," so that the verse reads: "This is the history of Jacob." The Bover Cantera Spanish Bible version here renders the word "history," but, under a misunderstanding and without warrant, it inserts words to make the verse read: "This is the history of ''the family'' of Jacob." Evidently because the rest of Genesis tells of Joseph and his brothers. 
: However, the foregoing shows the correctness of the basis for our rendering of the Greek expression at Matthew 1:1 as "the book of the history." It is true that a genealogy at once follows, but it is not of a generation from Jesus Christ; it is a partial list of his forefathers, only from Abraham onward, and especially so because Matthew 1:1 calls Jesus "son of David, son of Abraham." But in those ancient times a history revolved around those contained in a genealogy or those introduced by such a genealogy. Thus the genealogy was an important part of the history given and was in some cases put at the beginning of the history. (See 1 Chronicles, chap- ters 1 to 9.) So it is in the case of "the book of the history of Jesus Christ."

=====Expositor's Greek Testament=====
:Matthew 1:18-25. THE BIRTH OF JESUS. This section gives the explanation which ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη (Matthew 1:16) leads us to expect. It may be called the justification of the genealogy (Schanz), showing that while the birth was exceptional in nature it yet took place in such circumstances, that Jesus might justly be regarded as the legitimate son of Joseph, and therefore heir of David’s throne. '''<u>The position of the name Τοῦ δὲ Ι. Χ. at the head of the sentence, and the recurrence of the word γένεσις, point back to Matthew 1:1; γένεσις, not γέννησις, is the true reading, the purpose being to express the general idea of origin, ortus, not the specific idea of generation</u>''' (ὁ εὐαγγελιστὴς ἐκαινοτόμησε τὸ κατὰ φύσιν ὄνομα τῆς γεννήσεως, γένεσιν αὐτὴν καλέσας. Euthy. Zig. on Matthew 1:1).

=====Cruden's Bible Dictionary=====
Cruden's Bible Dictionary defines Generation as:
:This word is used for the history and genealogy of any man. For example : "This is the book of the generations of Adam," Gen. 5:1. This is the history of Adam's creation,and that of his posterity. "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth,"Gen. 2:4. This is a recital of the creation of heaven and earth. And in Matt. 1:1, "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David," This is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, and the history of his life, death, and resurrection.

=====[[New King James Version]]=====
The [[NKJV]] changed this verse to "The book of the '''<u>genealogy</u>''' of Jesus Christ..." 

While we all are aware that we have the genealogy of Christ in this chapter, God did not use the Greek word genealogia here (which means "genealogy" exactly, as in [[1 Timothy 1:4]] and [[Titus 3:9]], and where genealogies are condemned). Instead, the Greek word in the Textus Receptus is geneseos.

The KJV translated the Greek word geneseos (which comes from genesis) as "generation", which is precisely what Strong's Exhaustive Concordance has at [[1078]] -
:genesis ghen-es-is -- nativity, fig. nature, generation, nature (-ral). 

The meaning of "genesis" is origin or birth, or the sphere of this earthly life. So "generation" is faithful and accurate, and subject to further exposition. "Genealogy" is a replacement of "genesis", which is an unauthorized substitution, and changes the meaning. What Matthew is saying is that his Gospel is the book of what Jesus Christ wrought, in His birth, the entire sphere of His earthly life etc. The genealogy of Christ's stepfather is only a portion of that.

===of Jesus Christ===
[[2424|Ἰησοῦ]] The Hebrew Yeshua means "the LORD ([[Jehovah]]) is salvation."

Beza's 1598 has ȣ for οῦ in this and many other places. The οῦ has been retained above for ease of reading. 

[[5547|Χριστοῦ]]. Christ meaning - The Messiah, anointed one. The word anointed means to be placed into a position, like a king or a priest. A similar word is appointed.

=====John Mill=====
John Mill omits Χριστοῦ in his “Prolegomena” of 1707, p. cxxiv-a (In his 1710 “Prolegomena” Mill appeals to the Ethiopic version):
:Sed et alias quasdam notare iam lubet, in quibus Codex iste optimus, et aut unus e primaevis, aut ad primaevum aliquem expressus, Archetypum textum retinet in locis nonnullis, ubi ab ipso caeteri, quod video, abierunt.

===the Son===
In the movie Zeitgeist, it was claimed that the word 'son' in the term "Son of God" is related to the sun, making Jesus a solar deity. The trouble is that “sun” and “son” cannot be equated. In Hebrew “Son” is pronounced as ben and “sun” is shemesh. In Greek “son” is huios and “sun” is pronounced as helios. (Bible Dictionary Vol. 8 pgs. 1033-50) — Given that the two terms are only similar in English but not in the original Biblical languages, the most important piece of evidence that supposedly identifies Jesus as a Sun god and as the center of the Zodiac is superficial.

=====Modern English Version=====
The 2014 [[Modern English Version|MEV]] has son without the capital S in both instances in this verse.

===of David===
[[5207|υἱοῦ]] [[1138|Δαβίδ]]. The "Son of David" (בֶּן דָּוִד,is a title of the Messiah, the Savior. [[Matthew 15:22]], [[Matthew  20:20|20:20]], [[Matthew 21:15|21:15]]; [[Mark 10:47]]; and [[Luke 18:38]].

Some manuscripts spell [[1138|Δαβίδ]] as [[1138a|Δαυεὶδ]] (with υε in place of a β) and  [[1138b|Δαυὶδ]] (with υ in place of a β). [[1138a|Δαυεὶδ]] and [[1138b|Δαυὶδ]] are also forms in the Greek [[Septuagint]].

The word son is capitalized here because the in Matthew 15:22, 20:30, 21:9, 
22:42, etc. the KJV in the Pure Cambridge Edition capitalizes the word. [[Bible Protector]] claims that lower case “s” demotes Jesus from deity in these examples, but seems to have no issue with Matthew 1:1. 

* [[Matthew 15:22]] ...Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou '''Son''' of David...
* [[Matthew 20:30]] ...Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou '''Son''' of David...
* [[Matthew 21:9]] ...cried, saying, Hosanna to the '''Son''' of David...
* [[Matthew 22:42]] ...They say unto him, The '''Son''' of David...

In earlier manuscripts, such as Codex Freerianus (Manuscript Washington, W 032), Δαβίδ is abbreviated to “DAD” with [[Nomina Sacra]] (a line across the top of these letters) at Matt. 12:23. A scribe working from such a manuscript when later seeking to spell this name out in greater detail, might spell it as, “Dabid” or “Daueid” or “Dauid.” It seems that in the tradition of the Byzantines they varied between such diverse spellings for phonetic reasons.

===the Son of Abraham===
[[5207|υἱοῦ]] [[11|Ἀβραάμ]]. The "Son of Abraham" reveals that Christ is the promised Seed of the Abrahamic covenant. While the title "Son of David" was a common messianic title, "son of Abraham" was an expression that could refer to any Jew.

Some heretics assume that Jesus cannot be of the Seed of Abraham because He had no earthly father. But Jesus was clearly adopted by Joseph, the husband of Jesus' mother, Mary. So, while Jesus was not conceived by Joseph, he was the certainly considered son of Joseph. Joseph was a descendant of Abraham (see Matthew 1:2-16). In any case, Jesus was a physical descendant of Abraham because he was conceived of Mary. Mary, whose father was Eli, was a descendant of Abraham (Luke 3:23-38). The assumption that Abraham can only have descendants through males is simply mistaken. As can be seen in the case of Zelophehad:

:[[Numbers 26:33]] And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

:[[Numbers 27|Numbers 27:1-11]] Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father."
And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
:And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, 
*If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
*And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
*And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
*And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.

So, daughters as well as sons are the descendants of Abraham, and it is sufficient for Jesus that he was a son of Mary. The fact that from Genesis the bible clearly talked about the woman's seed, not the mans. Consider:
:[[Genesis 3:15]] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and '''<u>her seed</u>'''; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
:[[Galatians 3:16]] Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.

====Early Church Writers====

===Origen===

Origen  (185 AD-254 AD) wrote:
:For Matthew, writing for the Hebrews who looked for Him who was to come of the line of Abraham and of David, says: (Mt 1:1) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. And Mark, knowing what he writes, narrates the beginning of the Gospel; we may perhaps find what he aims at in John; in the beginning the Word, God the Word. But Luke, though he says at the beginning of Acts, The former treatise did I make about all that Jesus began to do and to teach, yet leaves to him who lay on Jesus’ breast the greatest and completest discourses about Jesus. For none of these plainly declared His Godhead, as John does when he makes Him say, I am the light of the world, I am the way and the truth and the life, I am the resurrection, I am the door, I am the good shepherd; and in the Apocalypse, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
