This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

Earlier text

And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way. Your house and kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever."

Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of both the royal promise to David and the universal blessing promise to Abraham.
