Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2 describe the events related to the Birth of the Messiah Jesus Christ. In John 1:1-18, we are provided a theological prospective. Jesus is the focus in all the Gospel accounts; however, Matthew tells the details of the Birth from Joseph's point of view and Luke tells it from Mary's. Matthew tells of the genealogy of Jesus and of the announcement of His birth to Joseph.
