- [Jesus Genealogy](https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001647) has been recorded in the bible in a few places. Starting in Genesis/Ruth, then to 1 Chronicles 1-3, and then in the first chapters of the Gospel accounts.

- Matt 1 / Luke 3
- Matt 1 / Luke 3
- The difference in nearly all the names in Luke’s genealogy of Jesus as compared with Matthew’s is quickly resolved in the fact that Luke traced the line through David’s son Nathan, instead of Solomon as did Matthew. Luke evidently follows the ancestry of Mary, thus showing Jesus’*natural* descent from David, while Matthew shows Jesus’*legal* right to the throne of David by descent from *Solomon* through Joseph, who was *legally*Jesus’ father. Both Matthew and Luke signify that Joseph was not Jesus’ actual father but only his adoptive father, giving him legal right.

- The reason Mary was not explicitly mentioned in Luke's account, is simply because the Jewish belief at that time, was “The descendant of the mother is not called (her) descendant”

- Finally found him home, and talked for a while. Spent the first 20ish mins talking about how to make chicken stock, talking about various travels, how good it is to be able to travel. Then taled about Jesus (Christmas), read Acts 4:12, talking about how there is no way through into salvation except through Jesus. Then talked about Jesus being ruler of gods kingdom, and talked about what that is. Asked what he thought it was, and he ended up saying we just don't really know. Read Daniel 2:44, then read Revelation 21:3,4, and talked about what the effects of that kingdom are, and how its something we get to look forward to on earth.
