"Why does Luke’s account of Jesus’ genealogy differ so significantly from Matthew’s?"
In Luke 3:23–38, the genealogy traces Jesus’ lineage through Nathan, a son of David, while Matthew 1:1–17 traces it through Solomon, another son of David. This has led to centuries of debate. Some scholars suggest Luke may be tracing Mary’s lineage, while Matthew traces Joseph’s. Others propose symbolic or theological reasons for the differences.
