Bible Question: matt.1-17 14 generations? I see 13 |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Here is what John Wesley had to say about the count of Matt. 1:17: "Mat 1:17 So all the generations - Observe, in order to complete the three fourteens, David ends the first fourteen, and begins the second (which reaches to the captivity) and Jesus ends the third fourteen." The three fourteens appear to have been a mnemonic aid and did not include every possible generation. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
