Matthew 1:2
Douay-Rheims
Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.
John Chrysostom (attributed)
Our Jacob in like manner begot the twelve Apostles in the Spirit, not in the flesh; in word, not in blood. Judah is interpreted ‘confessor,’ for he was a type of Christ who was to be the confessor of His Father, as He spake, I confess to Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.
