Bible Answer: Greetings Wofa Ato, "Matthew "Chapter 1:1-17. Genealogy of Jesus" "This is given also in Lk 3:23-38. The Coming of Christ to the earth had been anticipated from the beginning. In the early days of human history God had chosen One Family Line, that of Abraham, and, later on, another Family within the Abrahamic Family, that of David, to be the Family through which His Son would make entrance into the world. "The Hebrew Nation was founded, and nurtured, of God, through the ages, to bulwark that Family Line of descent. "The Genealogy, as given in Mt, is abridged. Some names are omitted. But that does not invalidate the line of descent. "42 generations, 3 groups of 14 each, cover 2000 years: the 1st group, 1000 years; 2nd group, 400 years; 3rd, 600 years. "The 3rd group, however, names only 13 generations, the 14th evidently being intended for Mary. "The Genealogy as given in Lk is somewhat different. Mt goes back to Abraham; Lk, to Adam. One is descending, "begat"; the other is ascending, "was son of". From David they are separate lines, touching in Shealtiel and Zerubbabel. "The commonly accepted view is that Mt gives Joseph's line, showing Jesus to be Legal Heir tot he Promises given Abraham and David; and that Lk gives Mary's line, showing Jesus' blood descent, "Son of David according to the flesh," Rom 1:3. "Mary's genealogy, in accord with Jewish usage, was in her husband's name. Joseph was the "son of Heli", Lk 3:23, that is, "son-in-law" of Heli. Jacob was Joseph's father, Mt 1:16. "These genealogies, given more fully in 1 Chron 1-9, form the backbone of O T annals. Carefully guarded through long centuries of epochal vicissitudes, they contain a "family line through which a Promise was transmitted 4000 years, a fact unexampled in history." (1) You asked "Who was Nathan the son of David. verse 31" Scripture: 2 Sam. 5:14; 1 Chronicles 3:5; 14:4 Nathan was a son of David: one of the four that were born to him by Bathsheba, no doubt named after Nathan the prophet, who revealed David's sin to him (2 Sam. 12:1-12) "You are the man!"
