The Geneology of Jesus


The Bible provides two genealogies for Jesus. Matthew shows the Jewish point of view by emphasizing Abraham, the father of the faithful. Luke provides a gentile perspective, going all the way back to Adam. Matthew gives the line through Solomon. Luke shows the line passing through Nathan, another son of David. This line is understood to be the genealogy through Mary, even though Joseph is listed.
