Genealogies of Jesus

Genealogies of Jesus

Sep 3, 2010

I receive emails attempting to refute the rather obvious contradiction between the Genealogies of Jesus listed in Matthew and Luke all the time.  The two accounts disagree on almost everything, starting with Joseph’s father.  Luke says Joseph is the son of Heli, Matthew says he’s the son of Jacob.  The genealogies don’t line up again until...
