I was in discussion with someone and they brought this to my attention to look at when i got home. And to me it seems to be a contradiction and was wondering if anyone had any insight into it.
Luk 3:23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) son of Joseph, son of of Heli,
Luk 3:24 son of of Matthat, son of of Levi, son of of Melchi, son of of Janna, son of of Joseph,
Luk 3:25 son of of Mattathias, son of of Amos, son of of Nahum, son of of Esli, son of of Naggai,
Luk 3:26 son of of Maath, son of of Mattathias, son of of Semei, son of of Joseph, son of of Juda,
Luk 3:27 son of of Joanna, son of of Rhesa, son of of Zerubbabel, son of of Shealtiel, son of of Neri,
Luk 3:28 son of of Melchi, son of of Addi, son of of Cosam, son of of Elmodam, son of of Er,
Luk 3:29 son of of Joses, son of of Eliezer, son of of Jorum, son of of Matthat, son of of Levi,
Luk 3:30 son of of Simeon, son of of Juda, son of of Joseph, son of of Jonan, son of of Eliakim,
Luk 3:31 son of of Melea, the son of Menan, son of of Mattatha, son of of Nathan, son of of David,
This seems to be different to
Mat 1:7 And Solomon fathered Rehoboam, and Rehoboam fathered Abijah, and Abijah fathered Asa.
Mat 1:8 And Asa fathered Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat fathered Jehoram, and Jehoram fathered Uzziah.
Mat 1:9 And Uzziah fathered Jotham, and Jotham fathered Ahaz, and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah.
Mat 1:10 And Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, and Manasseh fathered Amon, and Amon fathered Josiah.
Mat 1:11 And Josiah fathered Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time they were carried away to Babylon.
Mat 1:12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jehoiachin fathered Shealtiel, and Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel.
Mat 1:13 And Zerubbabel fathered Abiud, and Abiud fathered Eliakim, and Eliakim fathered Azor.
Mat 1:14 And Azor fathered Sadoc, and Sadoc fathered Achim, and Achim fathered Eliud.
Mat 1:15 And Eliud fathered Eleazar, and Eleazar fathered Matthan, and Matthan fathered Jacob.
Mat 1:16 And Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband to be of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
I have heard ray say that the Scriptures do not contradict, so i believe there must be an answer for this.
God bless you all
