Genealogy of Jesus

Continuing a Bible study of the Gospels:

(Luke 3:25) Who was of Mattathias, who was of Amos, who was of Nahum, who was of Esli, who was of Naggai,

The genealogy of Jesus through Mary's ancestors began in the last post.  Verse 23 said that it was Joseph who was the son of Eli, but he was actually the son-in-law, with Mary being Eli's daughter.  Eli was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, son of Melchi, son of Janna, son of Joseph, who was the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai.

(26) Who was of Maath, who was of Mattathias, who was of Semei, who was of Joseph, who was of Judah, (27) Who was of Joannas, who was of Rhesa, who was of Zerubbabel, who was of Shealtiel, who was of Neri, (28) Who was of Melchi, who was of Addi, who was of Cosam, who was of Elmodam, who was of Er,

Naggai was the son of Maath, and so the ancestor list of Jesus goes through Er, where I have to stop because Blogger only allows twenty tags per post.  As I feel anyone in Jesus's genealogy deserves a noteworthy tag, I will continue the genealogy in the next post.
