Commentaries on Matthew 1:16
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16Jesus, who is called Christ - As the word Christ, signifies the anointed or anointer, from , to anoint, it answers exactly to the Hebrew משיח mashiach, which we pronounce Messiah or Messias; this word comes from the root משח mashac, signifying the same thing.

And yet it is here studiously proclaimed that Joseph was not the natural, but only the legal father of our Lord. His birth of a virgin was known only to a few; but the acknowledged descent of his legal father from David secured that the descent of Jesus Himself…Read the comment
