View Line of Christ

Matthew and Luke both frame a genealogy around Joseph, yet the names differ after David (Solomon in Matthew, Nathan in Luke). Scripture does not explain the difference. Common theories: (1) Matthew gives the legal/royal line and Luke another kinship line (blood, adoption, or levirate), both tied to Joseph; (2) one list is Joseph’s and Luke’s is Mary’s, with Joseph named because Yahshua was “as was supposed” his son (Luke 3:23)—a reading Luke never states outright; (3) both are Joseph’s by different reckonings (for example legal father and biological father). The chains below follow each Gospel as written.

Line of Christ (Matthew)
