Summary

Luke 3:25 is a genealogy verse that traces the lineage of Jesus through the family line of Nathan, the son of King David. This genealogy differs from the one in Matthew 1, which follows the line of Solomon, another son of David. The purpose of including these genealogies is to establish Jesus' royal and messianic lineage, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies. By highlighting Jesus' descent from David, Luke emphasizes His rightful claim to the throne of David as the long-awaited Messiah.

Which was the son of Maath,.... Surnamed Aser, who governed nine years: which was the son of Mattathias; called Eli Matathias, who governed twelve years: which was the son of Semei; and named Abner Semei, who governed eleven years: which was the son of Joseph; called Joseph the first, who governed seven years: which was the son of Juda; who, according to the same writer, must be Judas, surnamed Hyrcanus the first, who governed fourteen years.
