Have a question about Luke and Matthew's Geneaology in the bible.
Why does Matthew begin with Abraham? Why does Luke trace the line in reverse order and goes back to Adam?
I have read some where that it is because matthew traces the legal descent of th house of David using heirs to the throne, while Luke traces the direct blood line of Joseph to David.
If anyone has any sort of answer or an idea, it would be greatly appreciated.
