Jerome — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 1:1

Patristic A.D. 420
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
“(Comm. in Matt. ch. 1.) We read in Isaiah, Who shall declare His generation? (Is. 53:8.) But it does not follow that the Evangelist contradicts the Prophet, or undertakes what he declares impossible; for Isaiah is speaking of the generation of the Divine nature; St. Matthew of the incarnation of the human.”
