The Genealogy of Jesus
Luke 3:26-38 begins with Jesus and goes backwards to God
Matthew 1:1-16 begins at Abraham and works forward to Jesus.
Luke has 15 more generations than does Matthew.
Luke and Matthew split after David.
Living Bible spelling in parenthesis.
I don't know for sure why these lists are different after David.  Matthew may have listed Joseph's heirs and Luke Mary's.  "Begat" in Hebrew indicated immediate or remote descent, an adoptive relation, or legal heirship, as well as procreation.   I just found it interesting and made myself a chart.
