Read Luke 2.23-38. In 3.23-38: The genealogy of the messiah. Lineage is important to royal legitimacy, and Luke was concerned to show the connections with the heritage of God's promises through David and Abraham (Acts 2.30; 3.25; 13.23-26). Matthew's account reaches back in three phases of 14 generations though the Exile to David and to Abraham (Mt 1). In Luke's account Jesus is Son of God in his conception (1.35; 3.23), through his royal ancestor David (1.32; 13.31), and finally through the paternity of Adam, son of God (3.38).
