Luke 3:23-38


CLV 23 And He, Jesus, when beginning, was about thirty years old, being a son (as to the law) of Joseph, of Eli, of Matthat, of Levi, 24 of Melchi, of Jannai, of Joseph, 25 of Mattathias, of Amos, of Nahum, of Esli, of Naggai, 26 of Maath, of Mattithiah, of Shemei, of Josech, of Joda, 27 of Joanna, of Rhesa, of Zerubbabel, of Shalthiel, of Neri, 28 of Melchi, of Addi, of Cosam, of Elmadam, of Er, 29 of Jesus, of Eliezer, of Jorim, of Matthat, of Levi, 30 of Simeon, of Judah, of Joseph, of Jonam, of Eliakim, 31 of Melea, of Menna, of Mattathah, of Nathan, of David, 32 of Jesse, of Obed, of Boaz, of Salmon, of Nahson, 33 of Amminadab, of Admein, of Arni, of Hezron, of Pharez, of Judah, 34 of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Tera, of Nahor, 35 of Serug, of Reu, of Peleg, of Eber, of Shelah, 36 of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lamech, [SUP]37[/SUP] of Methuselah, of Enoch, of Jared, of Maleleel, of Cainan, 38 of Enosh, of Seth, of Adam, of God."

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



30 years old was the common age to start ministry or service to the Lord, it gave time to learn the word and truly understand it.



This line starts with Joseph most likely because he was his father in laws heir because his father in law had no sons.



This line is most likely of Mary and unlike Matthew’s goes to Adam, Jesus us the second Adam.

As we know, or should know, Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus. The evil seed, or sin seed, however one wants to define it, is passed on from the male. The body that Jesus was given had to be without that sin seed, so no worldly seed ever entered Mary’s body.

As I recall there is no genealogy given for Mary, however we do know that Mary and Elizabeth, John the Baptist’s mother, were cousins.


“nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith” 1 Tim. 1:4
 


“But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.” Tit 3:9
