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.
One. Seth was Adam and Eve's son.
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.
There were ten generations between Adam and Noah. This rounds out to about 1100 years. It should be noted that the lifespans and fertility periods of these individuals were incredibly long. Adam was 130 years old when he fathered his first son and Noah fathered his first child at 500.
s from Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel have been given for both the Captivity in Egypt and for the Babylonian Exile.Matthew's GospelMatthew's Gospel gives 38 generations from father to son, between the patriarch Judah and Jesus. It gives 14 generations between Jechonias, father of Salathiel (at the start of the Babylonian Exile), and Jesus (KJV).Luke's GospelLuke's Gospel gives 53 generations from father to son, between the patriarch Judah and Jesus. It gives 23 generations between Neri, father of Salathiel (at the start of the Babylonian Exile), and Jesus (KJV).There were 14 generations from the exile and captivity in Babylon to the birth of Jesus:-Mat 1:12-17 [Good News Bible] From the time after the exile in Babylon to the birth of Jesus, the following ancestors are listed: Jehoiachin, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazar, Matthan, Jacob, and Joseph, who married Mary, the mother of Jesus, who was called the Messiah. [v. 13] (SEE 1:12) [v. 14] (SEE 1:12) [v. 15] (SEE 1:12) [v. 16] (SEE 1:12) [v. 17] So then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen from David to the exile in Babylon, and fourteen from then to the birth of the Messiah.
For population studies, a "generation" is usually taken to be about thirty years. So, 2011 ÷ 30 = 67. This means that, if the 'average' person's ancestors all had their first child at the age of 30, then there would be 65 "great-" before "grandfather" for the member of their family who was alive in the correct timespan.
There were 77 generations from Adam to Jesus in the Bible.
There were ten generations from Adam to Noah in the Bible.
There are four generations from Rahab to Jesus in the genealogy.
One. Seth was Adam and Eve's son.
------------------------Matthew demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus - a total of 27 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had 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.Luke 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 - a total of 35 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list prior to David: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.

Translation: How many years went between Adam and Eve and Jesus? Answer: 4108 years according to the NIV (New International Version) Study Bible's chronology.
If you mean generations; there were 14 as the Bible says: So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations (Matthew 1.17)
A:Luke's Gospel gives 77 generations (inclusive) from Adam to Jesus, including 57 from Abraham to Jesus. Matthew's Gospel gives 42 generations from Abraham to Jesus, which implies 62 generations from Adam to Jesus. Both genealogies follow the male line through King David, Zorobabel and finally Joseph, although some attempt to say that Luke's version is that of Mary - in spite of Luke 3:23. Both include the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, in this lineage, although they disagree as to the name of Salathiel's father, evidence that these genealogies were no more than inspired guesswork. Even if we argue that Luke's genealogy was that of Mary, Salathiel must have the same father! We should subtract 2 generations from Luke's genealogy, because the author inserted his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at generation 13 and Admin at 28. This would give 75 generations.We should also add 3 generations to Matthew's genealogy, because the author deleted three kings who are found in the Old Testament list. This would give 65 generations.The clear evidence is that neither genealogy was based on history, even if we suppose that Adam was a real person. Thus, we can not really say whether there were 77, 62 or any other number of generations from the beginning up to the time of Jesus.
