The genealogy or genealogies
The article examines Jesus' genealogies in Matthew and Luke, reflecting both his royal lineage through Joseph and his humanity through Mary. These complementary accounts emphasise Jesus' divine and human duality, reinforcing his messianic legitimacy.

CTD002
Who is Joseph's father?
This article explores the apparent contradiction between Matthew and Luke concerning the father of Joseph, Mary's husband. It proposes that Matthew presents Joseph's lineage and Luke presents Mary's, thus resolving the discrepancy. This demonstrates the coherence and complementary nature of the Gospels.
Luke 3.23 (King James Version) :And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
CTD004
Who is Shealtiel's father?
This article examines the alleged contradiction in the Gospels concerning Shealtiel's father. It proposes understanding the genealogical discrepancy as a difference in the ways kinship was established in biblical times, rather than as a contradiction.
Deuteronomy 25.5-6 (King James Version) :If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.Noteher husband’s…: or, her next kinsmanNotebrother’s: or, next kinsman’sAnd it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
CTD005
Who is Uzziah's father?
This article explores the apparent contradiction between Matthew 1:8 and 2 Chronicles 26:1 concerning Uzziah's father. Although Matthew names Joram as Uzziah's father, 2 Chronicles identifies him as Amaziah. The term 'son' can refer to a distant descendant, and Matthew's genealogies are shortened for theological reasons.

CTD006
Who is Jeconiah's father?
The article explores an apparent contradiction in the Bible concerning Jeconiah's father between Matthew and Chronicles. By analysing these perspectives, it shows that these are differences in the presentation of genealogies, without genuine contradictions.
1 Chronicles 3.11-12 (King James Version) :Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son,King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
CTD007
The exact number of generations in Matthew?
The article examines the apparent discrepancy between thirteen and fourteen generations announced in Matthew 1.17, resolved by including Mary in the genealogy. This reflects a theological intention in which the Messiah is not fathered by a man but conceived by the Holy Spirit, thus restoring the coherence of Scripture.
Genesis 2.2-3 (King James Version) :And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
CTD008
Who is Shelah's father?
This article examines the question of Shelah's paternity in the Bible. Two genealogies differ: Genesis names Arphaxad as Shelah's father, while Luke introduces Cainan as an intermediary. This discrepancy is not a contradiction but reflects parallel textual traditions, offering a richer understanding of Scripture.
Genesis 10.24 (King James Version) :And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
CTD010
Would Jesus inherit David's throne?
The article clarifies an apparent contradiction concerning Jesus and David's throne. It explains how the genealogies in Matthew and Luke, though distinct, complement one another to establish Jesus' legitimacy both legally and by natural descent, without a connection to Jehoiakim's cursed line.
