@fediversebiblestudy Jesus is quite clear: obedience is necessary for salvation. This goes against the teaching of many groups. Earlier in chap. 5, the Lord condemned those who thought and taught that one could consider some commandments unnecessary.

Re-reading the chapter, I notice that in 3 cases, ancestors' brothers are mentioned. I'm familar with Jacob's sons (I admit, largely thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber...) but not Judah's son Zerah or Jeconiah's brothers.

I assume almost everyone in this chapter had multiple sons. Any idea why a few of these people get a special mention, if they are not direct ancestors?
