    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogy_of_Jesus

    A minority view holds that while Luke gives the genealogy of Joseph, Matthew gives the genealogy of Mary. A few ancient authorities seem to offer this interpretation.

    Contrary to the Gospel of Matthew, which places Jesus's birth in the time of Herod I, [6] the Gospel of Luke correlates it with the census: [a] In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

Gundry argues that the divergence ...
