1. Read Matthew 10:1-4, Matthew 12:46-50, Matthew 28:9-10. Who are the third set of brothers? What is their significance?

2. By including these particular women in Jesus family tree, what point might Matthew be making about Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven?

3. Why do you think Bathsheba is listed as ‘the wife of Uriah’ rather than by her first name like the other women? What point might is Matthew trying to make by highlighting David’s failure this way?
