And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and family of David,).

Jesse begot David the king: David the king begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah:

So all the generations from Abraham till David are fourteen generations: and from David till the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations: and from the removal to Babylon till the Christ are fourteen generations.

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
