Matthew 1:15

"Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud."

Key Reflection

In Matthew 1:15, the genealogy of Jesus continues through several generations, detailing the lineage from Jacob to Joseph, Mary’s husband. The original audience would recognize these names as part of Israelite history, understanding that this list connects Jesus to the promises made to Abraham and his descendants, emphasizing his legitimacy as the Messiah within their cultural and historical framework.
