Matthew 1:16-17 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Amen, We Have a Sure Gospel and Blessed Hope Amen dear Pastor, amen! I greatly enjoyed your perspective in breaking down why we indeed have the 4 separate accounts from Christ’s Apostles of the Gospel chronicles. I had never heard it explained from those angles but now see them with even greater insight and appreciation. I’m also drawn back to the statement in Deuteronomy 19:15 which has to do with establishing matters of criminality or offense on the basis of 2-3 eyewitnesses. How much more glorious then the witness of 4 men inspired by the Holy Spirit to faithfully record what they saw, touched and heard. Moreover each man was skilled or trained in various professions, so knowing some of that background also helps us observe why certain events or details stood out more to one writer than the other, but all accounts are factually consistent. From fishermen to tax collectors and even a physician (doctor), Christ was well attested by all kinds of men who could not deny Jesus is the promised Messiah, who fulfilled all that was prophesied in His first advent for the salvation of His people.
