I will toggle from the Old Testament (Genesis) to the New (Matthew) as I look at verses that have special meaning to me.  Looking at the first chapter of Matthew we find a genealogy of Jesus that would seem boring except for a few interesting facts.

First, the fact that Matthew thought this genealogy was so important that he devoted  a sizable part, almost a chapter of his account of Jesus, to it. Of course, we know that when the Bible was written, it wasn't divided into chapters and verses.  That was done by compilers who wanted an easy method to reference the accounts.

Why did Matthew do this?  Well, he wanted to validate Jesus' right to the throne of David.  He was tracing linage to assure his Jewish readers of Jesus the King, Jesus the Messiah, Jesus the fulfillment to prophecy.  And Matthew does this admirably.  14 generations from Abraham to David.  14 generations from David to the carrying away to Babylon, and 14 generations from Babylon until the birth of Christ.
It is interesting to note that he traces this linage to Joseph, not Mary.

Matthews' book is considered to be written to validate the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

Luke traces Jesus' linage in the other direction.  From Joseph all the way back to Adam.  Even though Joseph was not the father of Jesus,  we need to remember that Luke and Matthew both lived in a patriarchal time.  Linage was masculine.  However, Matthew did include four women in his account which is unusual but important.  He included Thamar,  Ruth, Bathsheba,  and Mary.  Saints and sinners.

His Kingship was further validated in this next verse by the wise men who came to Jerusalem  "Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?  For we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him." Matthew 2:2

How did these wise men know that there was a King?  Who told them?  Why were they looking for a King in the first place.  Whatever the answers to those questions,  They found him.  Jesus.  King of the Jews.  Right up to the end.  When Pilot nailed "King of the Jews" to the cross.  Matt. 27:37
