The big deal of Matthews is that Jesus is a direct descendent of Abraham through Isaac, King David, Solomon and others. Finally in the lineage is Joseph who became the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Question — How does that make Jesus a descendant of Abraham and the others? It strikes me that the chain was broken with the “virgin” birth.
