Genealogy of Jesus

Matthew and Luke both feature a genealogy of Jesus but although those genealogies should match up they differ quite severely. In many ways that is due to the fact that Luke and Matthew had very different ideas on whom exactly the messiah was. Luke’s take on the genealogies of Jesus starts at joseph and works all the way back to Adam and subsequently god (Luke 3:23). Matthew works backwards from Abraham back down to joseph and then his stepson Jesus (Matthew 1:1). Both genealogy’s merge from Abraham

The genealogy of Matthew 1 is faithful to the genealogy of the Hebrew Bible. In other words, Jesus is the one who has legitimately inherited the throne of Israel on line. It is important that this is the genealogy of the Hebrew Bible. All the Old Testament passages cited in the New Testament cite the Hebrew Bible, but rather the '70' translated into Greek. However, the genealogy of the Bible is different from the Hebrew Biblical genealogy. In other words, the author of the Gospel of Matthew did not

1 and Luke 3 are genealogies of Jesus. Why two of them? Well, in ancient times it was allowed to have genealogies from each of the parents. We must not forget that Joseph is not a biological father of Jesus but, legal, while Mary was His biological mother. That could explain why are both, different. Luke starts with Mary and goes backward to Adam. Matthew starts with Abraham and goes forward to Joseph. It seems that the intend of the writers was to present different genealogies. They are also different

had their individual sources too. The genealogy, the nativity, and the childhood of Jesus played significant roles within the respective gospels. All components helped both authors generate a unique message to their audience. Also, they provided an insight of the beginning of Jesus’s journey and his mission on Earth. First, background information needs to be given about the

the Gospels according to Matthew and that according to Luke, Jesus’ birth and childhood is narrated. While both of these accounts mention Jesus as not only being the son of Joseph and his virgin wife Mary but also the Son of God, they also have numerous differences between the two. When compared and contrasted many scholars find historical inaccuracies between the two Gospels (especially when it comes to the birth and childhood of Jesus).

that Jesus left one region and traveling to the region of Tyre. Both accounts also talk about the mother who desperately approaches Jesus asking for help because her daughter is possessed by a demon. Both Matthew and Mark acknowledge that the woman talking to Jesus is a Gentile. Both Matthew and Mark show that Jesus is both human and divine. Jesus’s exorcism of the little girl worked because of her mother’s faith; Jesus’s miracles only work for people who believe. In Matthew 15:22, when Jesus and

The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us the story of Jesus' life here on earth. These Gospels are basically eyewitness statements that were written by Jesus' disciples. Due to this fact, there are variations in the stories. The Gospels are very similar, but also very different. There are places in the Gospels where the stories are parallel with very few minor differences like when Jesus tells Levi to follow him as found in Matthew 9:9-13, Mark 2:13-17, and Luke 5:27-32. Matthew and Luke

One of the biggest differences between the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Luke is the length. The Gospel of Luke goes more in-depth of the life of Jesus; in the Gospel of Luke, there is a section about Jesus as a child, Lk 2:41-52. Jesus’ birth and childhood is omitted from the Gospel of Mark, Marks’ Gospel starts with Jesus as an adult. The Gospel of Mark is a more condensed version of the accounts of Jesus’s life. There are also differences between the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke
