Green's Translation Notes On The New Testament: This genealogy
differs considerably from the one in Matthew. For this reason most of the
commentators and most of the evidence make this to be a genealogy of Mary
the mother of Emmanuel. For it was not permitted for a woman's name to
appear in the genealogical tables and so we see Joseph entered as the son
of Heli. But Heli was the father of Mary, the father in law of Joseph.(Joseph's
father was named Jacob:.Matthew
1:15).
Matthew's genealogy traces
from Abraham through David to Joseph, the legal father of Emmanuel:.Matthew
1:1-17. Luke's genealogy traces from Emmanuel's physical mother's husband
Joseph back through David and Abraham all the way to Adam:.Luke
3:23-38. A different father is given to Joseph in the two genealogies,
Heli in Luke and Jacob in Matthew. It therefore is concluded that Joseph
is included in Luke because he was the legal father of Emmanuel, rather
than because he was the natural father.

New Testament Notes:.They
rose against Creator's plan of appointing a Messiah.(means
'the anointed one' – anointed of the Creator the Father).and
against the Messiah whom he had chosen.
This passage implies that
opposition to the Messiah is opposition to the Creator – he that is opposed
to Christ is opposed to the Creator.
The ancient Jewish
leaders claimed to believe in their Creator, but not the Messiah, His
Son, Emmanuel the Christ.
But, he that despises him
despises the Creator of Him:.Matthew
10:40; 18:5;
John
12:44,45; Luke 10:16.
The Messiah is:.Hebrew
1:3. He is equal with the Father, possessing the same attributes and
the same power:.John
1:1; Philippians 2:6. To despise
him, therefore, is to despise God.
