Mt 1, 1English original
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.
By saying, of Jesus Christ, he expresses both the kingly and priestly office to be in Him, for Jesus, who first bore this name, was after Moses, the first who was leader of the children of Israel; and Aaron, anointed by the mystical ointment, was the first priest under the Law.
