Matthew 1:1
Douay-Rheims
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Jerome
(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.
