The Genealogy Of JESUS CHRIST

Genealogy Of JESUS CHRIST By Law (or Inlaw) Of Joseph: Mary’s Genealogy, And The Genealogy Of Joseph

Preface
There is much debate between scholars regarding the genealogy of JESUS CHRIST as given in Matthew chapter one and Luke chapter three. The difference is that Luke chapter three has many more names listed in the genealogy between king David of Israel and JESUS CHRIST than that of Matthew chapter one. Another difference is that the genealogy in Matthew shows that the seedline continues after king David through Solomon, whereas in Luke the genealogy continues through Nathan. It is therefore not possible for both genealogies to be correct with the information given. As usual, when there is a discrepancy of understanding in Scripture, the lack of understanding is always on the side of man and there is no discrepancy at all.  Reasons given by scholars as possible explanations for the differences are that Matthew may contain only the royalty names or that the names tell a story, therefore only specific names are given in order to facilitate that story. While there may be reasons as mentioned above that the length of the genealogy in Matthew is not the same as the length of the genealogy in Luke, the evidence shows that the genealogy in Matthew is that of Joseph, and his genealogy has nothing to do with the genealogy of JESUS CHRIST. Luke chapter three on the other hand, as explained below is the genealogy of JESUS CHRIST through Mary.

The Genealogy Of JESUS CHRIST Through Mary
(Luke 3:23 through Luke 3:38)

[
Note: The use of “son of” with respect to the seedline of CHRIST in Luke chapter three is due to the fact that the genealogy of JESUS CHRIST through Mary is from Joseph’s perspective, therefore since Joseph’s perspective is by law (or inlaw), “son of” would be used instead of begat. Mary’s relatives are inlaws of Joseph, therefore appropriate use of “son of” is applied.
]

Luke 3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) G3543 the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

G3543
νομίζω
nomizō
nom id' zo
From G3551; properly to do by law (usage), that is, to accustom (passively be usual); by extension to deem or regard:  suppose, think, be wont.

[
Note: It was customary at the time of the Birth of JESUS CHRIST to list genealogies of families through or by way of the father (or husband) even when the genealogy was of the mother (or wife). The genealogy of JESUS CHRIST in Luke chapter three is given as by law (or inlaw) of Joseph, but through the actual seedline of Mary. This is done by custom. If we were to write the verse above (Luke 3:23) in a modern, more readily understood context for the modern reader, it would be written as follows: “And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being by law the son of Joseph, which was the son in law of Heli,”. The seedline to JESUS CHRIST as referenced to Joseph’s genealogy at the point at which Joseph was betrothed to Mary is given in Matthew chapter one, with the exceptions in understanding as given in the preface.

The Generations Of Joseph To JESUS CHRIST
(Matthew 1:1  through Matthew 1:17)

Matthew 1:1  The book of the generation G1078 of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

G1078
γένεσις
genesis
ghen' es is
From the same as G1074; nativity; figuratively nature:  generation, nature (ral).

Matthew 1:2  Abraham begat G1080 Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

G1080
γεννάω
gennaō
ghen nah' o
From a variation of G1085; to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively to regenerate:  bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

[
Note: Begat means by procreation, which means by actual father and mother. The generations listed here are the actual seed line to the generation of JESUS CHRIST up to, but not through Joseph. Notice that Joseph’s genealogy is listed for completeness even though the seedline to CHRIST did not come through Joseph. The word “begat” is used because this is Joseph’s actual seedline.
]

Matthew 1:3  And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

Matthew 1:4  And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;

Matthew 1:5  And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

Matthew 1:6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

Matthew 1:7  And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

Matthew 1:8  And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

Matthew 1:9  And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

Matthew 1:10  And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

Matthew 1:11  And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

Matthew 1:12  And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

Matthew 1:13  And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

Matthew 1:14  And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;

Matthew 1:15  And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

Matthew 1:16  And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Matthew 1:17  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 1:15  And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

Matthew 1:16  And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Matthew 1:17  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.
