Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 1
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.
(Comm. in Matt. ch. 1.) We read in Isaiah, Who shall declare His generation? (Is. 53:8.) But it does not follow that the Evangelist contradicts the Prophet, or undertakes what he declares impossible; for Isaiah is speaking of the generation of the Divine nature; St. Matthew of the incarnation of the human.
