As I wrote in my first post, I'm jumping back and forth between Old & New Testaments. So, welcome to the Gospel!
Matthew starts with the genealogy of Jesus, from Abraham to the Messiah. He was concerned with Jesus' connection to the prophesies. He told of the conception and birth of Jesus in a matter-of-fact manner and correlated it directly to what Isaiah foretold (vs. 22-23). He was writing his account for a Jewish audience.
