Genealogy of Jesus
The "Genealogy of Jesus" refers to the lineage of Jesus Christ, as outlined in the New Testament. It is presented in two main places: the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. Matthew traces Jesus' ancestry back to Abraham, emphasizing His Jewish heritage, while Luke goes further back to Adam, highlighting the universal significance of Jesus.
These genealogies serve to establish Jesus' rightful place in the Davidic line, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah. They also illustrate the diverse backgrounds of His ancestors, including notable figures like David and Ruth, showcasing God's plan through history.
