Notes

Matthew 1:12

Shealtiel: Refer to 1 Chronicles 3:17–19 and Ezra 3:2.

Matthew 1:12–16

The Old Testament is clearly the source for Matthew 1:1–11. Matthew probably also used royal records and oral traditions for 1:12–16.

Matthew 1:1–2:23

This story shows how certain parts of the life of Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. This includes:

his family history and birth (chapter 1), and
the places he lived as a child (chapter 2).

The story also shows how efforts to stop the plan of God do not work (2:1–15; see also 27:62–66).
