Answer 2

A:The ancients saw 7 as a propitious number. This entered Christian tradition in Luke's genealogy of Jesus and, as the multiple 14, in Matthew's Gospel.

Luke has great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77. It also has: Joseph at 42 and 70; Jesus (Jose) at 49. To do this, it has to insert its own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28. Of course, we have no possible way of verifying Luke's list of Jesus' ancestors after King David.

Matthew demonstrates that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus. To do this, it has to ignore 3 kings in the Old Testament and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. Then, we have no possible way of verifying Matthew's list of Jesus' ancestors from the time of the Exile.
