This paper analyzes the Gospel of Matthew in description of Jesus genealogy as it identifies the distinction between two groups of Christians : Jewish Christian and Gentiles. Contrary to the genealogy commonly proposed by the Jews, Matthew includes four female gentiles in his genealogical description. In this paper, I examine among other things, why Matthew chose to include the gentiles in his genealogy.
