by | Nov 2, 2010 | Biblical Theology, New Testament

“Like the patriarchal Joseph, this genealogical Joseph by whom Jesus’ Davidic ancestry may be affirmed vv. 20-25, had a father named Jacob.

Both also operated on the eve of God’s great movement to redeem Israel” (William J. Dumbrell, The New Covenant: The Synoptics on Context…, 19-20).
