The genealogy of Jesus
Matthew 1:1-17
Luke 3:23-38
Matthew's Genealogy starts at Abraham and goes to Jesus. Luke's Genealogy starts at Jesus and goes in reverse to Adam. When the genealogies arrive at David, they split with David's sons: Solomon (Matthew / Joseph's side) and Nathan (Luke / Mary's side).
