Bible Question:
Matthew 1:16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Luke 3:23 Jesus was known as the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of Heli. Why the discrepancy? |
Bible Answer: In Luke the genealogy is a literal bloodline kinship to Jesus. However in Matthew the genealogy is broken down into three groups of 14 generations giving the thrown line showing that in the 1st century that Jesus is the heir to the thrown. He is king. There is no discrepancy. |
