What is Matthew demonstrating by compressing the genealogy of Christ numerically?
A:It is not so much that Matthew compresses the genealogy of Jesus, as that this genealogy was written to demonstrate something about Jesus. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says there is little likelihood that this genealogy or the parallel on in Luke's Gospel is strictly historical. Matthew (summarised in 1:17) demonstrates that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus, through Joseph. To do this, the author had to compress the traditional Old Testament genealogy, ignoring three kings, and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. Then, we have no possible way of verifying Matthew's list of Jesus' ancestors from the time of the Exile. Fourteen and seven were regarded as auspicious numbers, so by this means Matthew demonstrates that Jesus was destined for greatness.
