Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 1:6
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 1:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.”
On this verse:
“(De Cons. Ev. ii. 4.) Since in Matthew’s genealogy is shewed forth the taking on Him by Christ of our sins, therefore he descends from David to Solomon, in whose mother David had sinned. Luke ascends to David through Nathan, for through Nathan the prophet God punished David’s sin; because Luke’s genealogy is to shew the putting away of our sins.”
