There are two lists of names of the ancestors of Jesus in the Gospels. One is here in Luke 3, and the other is in Matthew 1. The two lists are different in several ways.For the lists of names in Matthew and Luke, most names from David to Jesus are different in the two lists. Also, Luke has fifty-seven names between Jesus and Abraham, while Matthew has forty-one. Matthew’s list goes back only to Abraham, but Luke also listed the names back to Adam and mentions that Adam was created by God. Matthew’s list counts forward in time—from ancestor to descendant. Luke’s list counts backward in time—from descendant to ancestor. Matthew’s list shows Jesus as a descendant of the kings in David’s line. Luke’s list shows that Jesus relates to all mankind, going back to Adam. These lists do not contradict each other. Bible scholars have many possible ways to explain these differences. There is not enough information to decide which of the different views of the scholars is correct. It is important to translate each list just as it is.There are textual issues concerning some of the names in 3:24–38: In 3:26, it is recommended that you follow the manuscripts that have “Josech” instead of those that have “Joseph.” In 3:26, it is recommended that you follow the manuscripts that have “Joda” instead of those that have “Judah.” In 3:29 it is recommended that you follow the manuscripts that have “Joshua” instead of those that have “Jose.” In 3:32 there is a textual issue that is discussed in the note on 3:32. In 3:33 there is a textual issue that is discussed in the note on 3:33.
Some other possible headings for this section are:
The Ancestors of Jesus (GW)
The Genealogy of Jesus (NET)
This paragraph contains a list of names of the ancestors of Jesus. Consider how you want to present this list in your translation. In some translations the names of each ancestor may be on a separate line. Present the list in a way that is easy to read and understand.
the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni,
the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,
the son of Admin, the son of Arni: There is a textual issue here:
Some Greek manuscripts have two generations here. The names vary in the English versions. For example:
the son of Admin, the son of ArniThere are three spellings of this name: Arni, Ram, and Aram. (GNT) (BSB, GNT, RSV, GW, NJB, NLT, CEV, NCV, NET, NASB)
Some Greek manuscripts have one generation here. For example:
the son of Ram (NIV) (NIV, KJV)
It is recommended that you follow option (1). However, if the major national language version in use in your area follows option (2), you may also wish to follow that option.

This is a continuation of the list of Jesus’ ancestors that began in Luke 3:23. Use the same format as you used in the previous verses.
3:23-38 This genealogy reverses Matthew’s order (Matt 1:1-17). Luke lists Jesus’ lineage back to Adam, possibly to show Jesus’ connection with all humanity as the Son of God (Luke 3:38). Matthew’s genealogy descends from Abraham to Joseph, highlighting Jesus’ status as the rightful heir of David’s throne and the recipient of God’s promises to Abraham. The great differences between the two genealogies have led some to propose that Luke’s genealogy is that of Mary (see study note on 3:23), who was probably among Luke’s primary sources.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
