The Genealogy of Jesus

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In the New Testament, both Matthew and Luke present the genealogy of Jesus, although there are discrepancies between the two. Matthew's genealogy includes four women, including Tamar, who posed as a prostitute, and Rahab, who was a prostitute, which underscores Jesus' inclusive message of salvation. Matthew also intentionally made the genealogy symmetrical and concise. Luke, on the other hand, traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, emphasizing Jesus as the second Adam and a new beginning for humanity. The genealogies presented in both Matthew and Luke serve different purposes and illustrate Jesus' connection to Jewish tradition and his message of inclusion for all.
