The book of the generation

• Matthew 1:17: 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

• Total 42 generations

• The Bible is one Book, but it is also many books written by at least forty (40) different authors, over a period of not less than 1,500 years,

• Of the sixty-six different books in the Bible, the authors– fifty-five (55) are well identified by history and tradition– twenty-seven (27) books of the New Testament – The eleven (11) books whose authors are not known

• Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Esther, Job and Hebrews.

All of the authors were Jews• Two of the writers were kings—David and Solomon• Two were priests—Jeremiah and Ezekiel• Luke was a physician

– Luke was not a Jew• Two were fishermen—Peter and John• Two were shepherds—Moses and Amos• Paul was a Pharisee and a theologian• Daniel was a statesman• Matthew was a tax collector• Joshua was a soldier• Ezra was a scribe• Nehemiah was a butler..

• Matthew, whose name means “gift of Jehovah,” left his occupation of gathering taxes (Matt. 9:9–13) in order to follow Jesus. In Luke 5:27–32, Matthew gave a banquet for Jesus before becoming one of the Twelve Apostles (Matt. 10:3). He was an eyewitness of Jesus’ entire ministry.– Luke 5:27:

¶And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

– Luke 5:28: And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

• Of the Gospel accounts Matthew has the largest blocks of discourse material. No other Gospel contains so much of Jesus’ teachings
