Mateus 1

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah

1 The record of the genealogy of *1:1 Heb Yeshua (Joshua), meaning The Lord is salvation.Jesus the *1:1 Gr Christos. Greek for Messiah, which means Anointed One. Throughout his gospel, which is directed primarily to Jewish believers, Matthew uses OT Scripture to emphasize the fact that Jesus is their promised Messiah.Messiah, the son (descendant) of *1:1 The shepherd boy who killed the Philistine giant Goliath, and later became king of Israel.David, the son (descendant) of Abraham: [Ps 132:11; Is 11:1]

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David to the Babylonian deportation (exile), fourteen generations; and from the Babylonian deportation to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
