Read Matthew 1:1-17, paying attention to the structure of the list and any names that are familiar to you.
- Why might Matthew start his Gospel with a genealogy?
- List the names that you recognize and briefly note what you know about them.
- What names are interesting to you and why?
- This is the genealogy of Joseph. Why do you think Matthew lists Joseph’s genealogy and not Mary’s?
- Do you find anything strange that Jesus is so closely linked to Joseph’s genealogy here? Why? How do you make sense of this?
