Differ in Mark and Luke, meaning even accepting the genealogy as accurate, it's hard to say.

How many generations is Jesus removed from Adam?

In Matthew's Gospel, there are sixty generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph and Joseph's father Jacob. In Luke's Gospel, there are seventy six generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph and Joseph's father Heli.


Why did it take 42 generations for Jesus to come?

In Matthew's Gospel, there were: 14 generations from Abraham to David, inclusive; 14 generations from David to Josiah, inclusive; and 14 generations from Jechonias (son of Josiah) to Jesus, through Joseph. This is actually 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus, since David is counted twice. In Luke's Gospel, there were: 77 generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph. This included 55 generations from Abraham to Jesus, once again inclusive. Luke's Gospel had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77. The reason it took exactly this many generations in each case was that each of the authors wished in his own way to prove, through numerology, that Jesus was destined for greatness. The number 7 was regarded as associated with greatness, and so therefore was the number 14. To do this, Matthew had to ignore three kings in the Old Testament and to count David twice. Using a different, but parallel genealogy, Luke had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.

How far back does each gospel trace Jesus' ancestry?

Matthew's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Jacob, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Jechonias, to David and finally Abraham.Luke's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Heli, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Neri, to David and finally Adam.Matthew says that there were 28 generations from David to Jesus, and 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. Luke says that there were 42 generations from David to Jesus, and 77 generations from Adam to Jesus. Both genealogies contain significant discrepancies against the Old Testament genealogies and, needless to say, neither account is likely to be historically accurate.
