A Comprehensive Guide to the Genealogy of Jesus in the Bible

Explore this guide to the genealogy of Jesus in the Bible with clear, easy-to-follow insights into biblical ancestry.

Following the Bible’s Genealogy of Jesus

Navigating the Bible’s genealogies can be tough, because those long lists of names aren’t exactly a quick or exciting read. Not to mention how many of them there are! The most comprehensive lists of the lineage of Jesus can be found in the gospels, Matthew and Luke. However, the lists changes halfway through and then somehow end up on the same person, Joseph!

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t remember Joseph having anything to do with Jesus’ birth (besides taking on the role of his earthly father because of his marriage to Jesus’ mother, Mary). I want to know the reason for the discrepancies between the two lists and where Mary fits in.

Not only this, but these lists aren’t even complete, because they are the highlights. To get the complete list of names, you have to piece together genealogies from all over the Bible while understanding what you’re looking for.

For example, there is an entire generation of people from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, but only one of them is Messianic (line of the Messiah). We are familiar with Moses, although his lineage is from the tribe of Levi. We know of Joseph and his coat of many colors, but it was his brother Judah (yup, one that sold him into slavery!) whose lineage follows through to Joseph and Mary.

So, using a ton of research, I created my own Bible Genealogies Chart.

Simplify Your Bible Study Experience

My genealogy chart takes all the guesswork out of who follows the lineage of Christ, starting at Adam, making it simple to understand who’s related to whom without flipping back and forth through your Bible.

No more getting lost in the details or wondering how everyone fits together. I’ve sorted it all out, from the Garden of Eden straight through to the birth of Christ (plus it doubles as artwork so you can hang it in your home)!

Includes the Women Too!

Traditionally genealogies only mention the men who carry on the family name, but to have those baby boys, a mother must be involved…I wanted to give these women a name and include both parents in the lineage where it was mentioned in the Bible.

This unique resource shines a spotlight on the influential women in these genealogies that other studies might skip over. It’s a more complete, more inclusive look at the Bible’s family trees, recognizing the critical roles these women played (after all, most of these women are the ones who raised these boys into men!).
