Study note
Setting — Luke records a genealogical list tracing Jesus’ legal lineage through Joseph’s ancestors, continuing the sequential chain from the preceding verse.
The words — The Greek τοῦ (tou) operates as a genitive marker meaning “of,” grammatically binding each patriarch to his father in the sequence.
The thread — The text states the names Mattathias, Amos, Nahum, and Esli in direct succession, extending the record begun in Luke 3:24 and carrying it forward into Luke 3:26.
Why it lands — It asks the reader to accept the documented continuity of the list as presented, treating each name as a factual link in the chain without supplying missing links or commentary.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
