NASB | Romans 1:3 concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 1:3 [the good news] regarding His Son, who, as to the flesh [His human nature], was born a descendant of David [to fulfill the covenant promises], |
Bible Question (short): Contrary Accounts of Jesus' Genealogy. |
Question (full): I would like to know why the genealogy of Jesus differs markedly between the account of Matthew (Matthew 1: 1-17) and Luke (Luke 3: 23-38). Matthew claims that Jesus was from King Solomon's line, whilst Luke claims he was from Nathan's (another son of David's) line. All the names are different from King David onwards, until Shealtiel and Zerubabbel. Then, they differ again. There aren't any tallying names from David to Shealtiel and from Zerubabbel to Joseph. I refuse to accept that it was a simple error, because Christianity is based on the fact that the Bible is the Truth, the absolute Truth and nothing but the Truth. Besides, if this was an error, then how would I know that there aren't any more errors in the rest of the Bible? |
