Matthew 1:17 So there were 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 generations from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations from the exile until the Messiah. As one who likes numbers I find this fascinating. Why fourteen generations?
Luke 2:3 All the people went to register in the cities where their ancestors had lived. If we should have a national census in the 21st century, I am supposing that the whole thing would be done by internet. But can you imagine if we didn't have modern international communications?
