(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
evident - literally, “manifest before the eyes” as a thing indisputable; a proof that whatever difficulties may now appear, then Jesus Christ’s genealogy labored under none.
our Lord - the only place where this now common title occurs without “Jesus,” or “Christ,” except 2Pe 3:15.
sprang - as a plant, and a branch.
Judah - Gen 49:10; Luk 1:27, Luk 1:39 (Hebron of Judah, where Lightfoot thinks Jesus was conceived) Luk 2:4, Luk 2:5; Rev 5:5.
of which tribe ... priesthood - “in respect to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests” (so the oldest manuscripts read, nothing to imply that priests were to be taken from it).
