The book of the son of David
From Sensus Plenior
- Mt 1:1 ¶ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew had several years to study the scriptures after Mark wrote his gospel. He included material not covered by Mark because he saw that the life of Jesus fulfilled scripture and he included enough information to show the hermeneutic tool he used to gain his insights.
Compare the verse above with :
- Ec 1:1 ¶ The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
