Commentary on Matthew 1:16
The genealogy's structure breaks at this crucial point: Joseph is called 'the husband of Mary' rather than 'begat Jesus,' indicating the virgin birth. Jesus is born 'of' Mary, not Joseph, yet Joseph's lineage provides legal inheritance rights to David's throne. The title 'Christ' (Greek for 'Messiah') identifies Jesus as the Anointed One, God's promised King, Priest, and Prophet.
