Matthew 1:2-3

1:2 Abraham was the father ¹  of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 1:3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah (by Tamar), Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram,

Matthew 1:11

1:11 and Josiah ²  the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

¹ tn Grk “fathered.”

² sn Before the mention of Jeconiah, several medieval mss add Jehoiakim, in conformity with the genealogy in 1 Chr 3:15-16. But this alters the count of fourteen generations (v. 17). It is evident that the author is selective in his genealogy for a theological purpose.
