The book of the lineage of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Mt 1:1)
Βίβλος γενέσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ.
Liber generationis Iesu Christi filii David, filii Abraham.
The genealogy of Jesus indicates His Divine and Messianic origins. The book we open today carries the living Word in its verses. Our history is there too. The Word reads our life, and in Him is our genealogy – our beginning and goal. The Word indicates that we become sons and daughters of the Father who is in Heaven.
