Quick Chapter Summary

The book of Matthew begins with the genealogy from Abraham to Jesus. Verse 17 notes that there were ‘14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 generations from David to the exile of Babylon, and 14 more generations till Jesus was born. That is 42 total generations.
The rest of Matthew chapter 1 speaks of the conception of Jesus and of Joseph’s dream from God that informed him that Mary hadn’t been cheating on him, but that he was to be the father of the savior of the world.

The last verse of the chapter also states that Mary and Joseph were not together sexually until after Jesus was born.
