Matthew 1:1-17:
Matthew’s Gospel begins with the genealogy, setting Jesus in history. The son of David and Abraham is placed within the Jewish tradition, no doubt an intentional message to the members of Matthew’s community.
I honor and respect the Jewish tradition, my roots as a Catholic Christian. At the same time, my Jewish sisters and brothers may come to know Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
