. . . Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed the son of Joseph) the son of Eli . . . The Greek text supports this reading as we see later.
Genealogical Differences. If we compare the two genealogies, we discover some
other amazing facts. The genealogy, as recorded by Luke, is longer than the one in Matthew by 16 names. The
two genealogies diverge after King David. This means that the genealogies are either different or Luke’s
genealogy is in error since Matthew’s genealogy agrees with the one found in 1 Chronicles 1-3. Since
Luke says that he researched everything carefully and since 1 Chronicles was available to him; it is not likely
that he would have made such a mistake. This suggests that the two genealogies are different from one
another.
Luke’s genealogy is in the opposite order to the one in Matthew. That is, it starts with
Jesus and goes all the way back to Adam and God. Luke wants us to know that Jesus was human in physical appearance.
His first "father" was Adam. He was both God and human.
