Key Word: Baptism, Luke 3:16; Luke 3:21.

Strong Verses: Luke 3:16.

Striking Facts: Luke 3:23. Matthew gives Joseph's genealogy Luke gives Mary's. Luke does not say Heli «begat» Joseph. Joseph was his son-in-law. If Jesus was the son of Joseph, as some claim, He is forever barred from the throne, being a descendant of Coniah who was cursed, that none of his line might have the throne. Jesus was accordingly conceived by the Holy Ghost in Mary, Mary's father being a descendant of David through another line.
