No, it does not have a genealogy of Christ.
The Jews were proud of their genealogies and considered them very important, but Mark was targeting Romans, mainly gentiles, who couldn't care less about them.
For the paternal genealogy, go to Matthew chapter 1, and to Luke 3 for the genealogy through the line of Mary.

∙ 10y agoMatthew contains an infancy story that drew parallels between Jesus and Moses. It has Joseph go to Egypt, parallelling the Old Testament Joseph, and the king killed all the infants under two years out of fear of Jesus, just as the Egyptian king of the Old Testament killed all the infants under two out of fear of Moses. So the father of Joseph just had to be called Jacob, as in the Old Testament. The author knew the power of numerology to convince the superstitious people of the time, and the numbers 7 and 14 had particular importance. Matthew demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus. 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, although written about twenty years after Matthew, knows nothing of what Matthew says. By not relying on the Old Testamant in the way that Matthew does, its author had no reason to consider the name Jacob for the father of Joseph, and chose Heli. 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 (and 76); 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.
The following table contains the genealogies of Jesus. Luke has Joseph and Jesus descended from a line of commoners after King David, which is why it is different to both the Old Testament and Matthew from David to Salathiel. As both Matthew and Luke have Salathiel and Zorobabel in their genealogies, this has required them to list Salathiel with a different father in each case. The last two kings in the Old Testament are shown in parentheses as they were not relevant. Minor differences of spelling are not relevant.

Another AnswerMatthew chapter 1 contains a genealogy of Jesus. (From Abraham to Joseph, Jesus' step father.) Luke chapter 3 contains a genealogy of Jesus. (From Joseph, Jesus' step father back to Adam.) The two genealogies vary and some people suggest the geneaolgy in Matthew is of Joseph while the genealogy in Luke is of Mary.Wiki User
