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:
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? |
Bible Answer: This is not an error. It proves the fact that Jesus is the promised messaih. "Matthew draws the pedigree from Solomon, whose natural line ending in Jechonias, the legal right was transferred to Salathiel, who was of the house of Nathan, another son of David, which line Luke here pursues, and so leaves out all the kings of Judah." Not an error but rather and exacting particular that if it were a false book the writer would have left this out. But since it is indeed from God it even details how that the legal right was transferred, which you can read about in the Old Testament. God is so awesome! |
