Matthew 1:1
Douay-Rheims
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Rabanus Maurus
He says, The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, because he knew it was written, ‘The book of the generation of Adam.’ He begins thus then, that he may oppose book to book, the new Adam to the old Adam, for by the one were all things restored which had been corrupted by the other.
