Matthew's Gospel has a list going back through the male line from Joseph, his father Jacob, to Abraham. Luke's Gospel has a list going back through the male line from Joseph, his father Heli, to Adam. Given the significant differences between these genealogies, as well as between them and the Old Testament, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) is no doubt correct when he says , "There is little likelihood that either is strictly historical."
