What gospel presents the genealogy of Jesus from Adam to Jesus?

Answer 1

The Gospel According to St Matthew provides Jesus' genealogy back through his father Joseph, his paternal grandfather Jechonias, and then through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, to King David.

The Gospel According to St Luke also provides a genealogy back through his father Joseph, his paternal grandfather Neri, and then through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, King David and finally Adam.

Answer 2

A:The Gospel of Luke presents the genealogy of Jesus back through Joseph, then Zorobabel and King David and all the way to the first biblical man, Adam. Because of an interest in numerology, Luke adds two fictitious ancestors to the account: Admin and Kainan. He also gives the paternal grandfather of Zorobabel as Neri, rather than Jehoahaz, in order to have the ancestry of Jesus remain in a line of commoners al the way back to David.

Answer 3

A:There are two genealogies of Jesus, through his father Joseph and back through the male line - one in Matthew's Gospel and one in Luke's Gospel. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) canvasses the possibility of Luke's genealogy being that of Mary, but has little time for those who propose this "despite 3:23!" He says that there is little likelihood that the genealogy in either Matthew or Luke is strictly historical. Quite simply, neither author knew anything about the ancestry of Jesus, but felt that their readers needed to be told something.

Answer 4

A:

Matthew's Gospel has sixteen verses on the genealogy of Jesus, back through Joseph and his father Jacob to Abraham. Then a seventeenth verse explains how this genealogy is propitious, as it consists of three groups of exactly fourteen ancestors. 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's Gospel also has sixteen verses on the genealogy of Jesus, back through Joseph and his father Heli all the way to Adam. The author does not highlight the numerology as does the author of Matthew, but this genealogy is equally propitious, as it has great men occurring in multiples of seven generations. To do this, he had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.

New Testament scholars say that neither genealogy is likely to be historical.

Answer 5

Matthew 1, which contains the genealogy of Jesus' adoptive father Joseph-son of Jacob (verse 16)-from David's son Solomon. On the other hand, Luke 3, which lists the genealogy from David's son Nathan, might also seem to be the family record of Joseph-but he is here listed as being the "son of Heli" (verse 23). A bit confusing in the English translations.

Answer 6

The Geneology of Jesus can be found in Chapter one of the book of Matthew.

Answer 7

The book of Matthew lists Jesus's ancestors (or more technically: Joseph's ancestors)
