Matthew 1:1

• The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (KJV)
• The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.(KJV 2023)
• The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. (NKJV)

"Generation" means to be generated or to be placed in time, where the origination of the eternal Christ's body occurred, and the Word became flesh. Christ was not generated from man, but through Mary and from God, linking to Matthew 1 verse 18. The genealogy mentioned is of Joseph, and not Jesus. Thus the New King James Version's translation is faulty having "The genealogy of Jesus Christ" because Christ had no earthly genealogy except through His mother. This error alone causes the entire section to be flawed. in Jeremiah 36, it was made clear that God placed a curse upon the linage of Jehoiakim so that no one from his lions would sit in the throne of David. This becomes absurdly contradictory if this is the "genealogy" of Jesus, and not of His step-father Joseph.
