Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 1:25

_ _ And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS — The word “till” does not necessarily imply that they lived on a different footing afterwards (as will be evident from the use of the same word in 1 Samuel 15:35; 2 Samuel 6:23; Matthew 12:20); nor does the word “first-born” decide the much-disputed question, whether Mary had any children to Joseph after the birth of Christ; for, as Lightfoot says, “The law, in speaking of the first-born, regarded not whether any were born after or no, but only that none were born before.” (See on Matthew 13:55, Matthew 13:56).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 1:18-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 1:25

He knew her not, till after she had brought forth — It cannot be inferred from hence, that he knew her afterward: no more than it can be inferred from that expression, 2 Samuel 6:23, Michal had no child till the day of her death, that she had children afterward. Nor do the words that follow, the first — born son, alter the case. For there are abundance of places, wherein the term first born is used, though there were no subsequent children. Luke 2:7.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 1:25

And knew her not (l) till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

(l) The word "till", in the Hebrew language, gives us to understand that a thing will not come to pass in time to come: as Michal had no children "till" her death day, (2 Samuel 6:23). And in the last chapter of this evangelist: Behold, I am with you "till" the end of the world.
