Could anyone do me a favour and list out all the begats from Adam to Jesus? Thanks.....?

Answer 1

There are two Biblical versions.

Genealogy according to Matthew:
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; and Jesse begat David the king.
And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah; and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon. And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Genealogy according to Luke:
And Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, the son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Answer 3

My favorite topic...

Of the seventy, only sixteen are significant. Every seventh, plus every tenth generation. The rest are placeholders, in a schematic.
Also, Cains descendants, to the seventh generation.
All sixteen are married to very close relatives.
You can chart them, and use them as a great memory tool. That was how the 'tree' was designed. Not with chapter and verse, which works best with written history. The begets and begats are the trunk of the family tree. It's difficult to trace through the many historical books of the bible, but you can read it all engraved on the back of a coin, dated 4,000 BC. I continue to marvel at the prophetic genius of both the maker of the coin, and the family tree of Jesus. How could they have known that pattern, way back then? Miraculous! And such detail too.

The last several generations are a little confusing. But regardless of whether you trace Jesus's royal line through Mary or Joseph, the pattern holds true. Simply marvelous! Predestination at it's best!

If I sound a little cynical, it' because I did take the time to chart all of the begets and begats. All of the numbers jive. If you haven't done this, you really don't know how far off base everyone is about Bible chronology, prophecy, and even credibility.

Answer 4

Don't know how it went from Adam to Abraham, but in the very beginning of the Gospel according to Matthew there's a list from Abraham all the way down to Jesus -- 42 begats in all.

Answer 5

Because something that never existed cannot be thanked! There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded! There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death! He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record? Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death! Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter! At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

Answer 6

Begats In The Bible

Answer 7

Since Jesus wasn't a blood relative of Joseph, none of those people were related to Jesus.

Answer 8

Adam had an onion baguette, Abel had a sesame seed baguette, Joshua had a poppy seed baguette, and Jesus had a plain baguette.

Answer 9

Too busy stoning people to death at the moment, sorry.

Perhaps when I've finished smoting the wicked.

Hahaha!

That will never happen!
Goodness.

Answer 10

Too lazy to read Genesis?

Answer 11

If I had that much free time on my hands, I would not use it to fully answer this question!
