Bible Question: I would like to know why there are two different fathers for Joseph, the person taking care of the baby Jesus. The lists are in Matt and Luke. |
Bible Answer: Greetings! There are many different views about why the two lists differ. The best view that I have read is that Matthew traces the genealogy of Jesus through His assumed father, Joseph. While Luke traces the genealogy of Jesus through His mother, Mary. Both prove that Jesus was a descendent of David. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
