Bible Question:
i have noticed that matthew and luke wrote different geneologies for Jesus. my question is this have i missed something, or is one intended as mary's and the other joseph's? reference matt1:2 and luke 3:23 |
Bible Answer: Greetings, In addition to what EdB said there is another difference. In Matthew the geneology goes from father to son forward. It begins with Abraham and ends with Joseph showing the Legal or royal line of Jesus. Matthew also includes the names of 5 women; Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Mary and Bathsheba (the wife of Uriah v.6). In Luke's geneology it starts with the son and goes from father to son backward starting with Jesus and ending with Adam. prayon |
