Sažetak
The connection (link) between Jesus and Abraham is most explicit in the two genealogies found in the New Testament: Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. This article analyses the function and meaning of Luke's genealogy from the perspective of the relationship between Jesus and Abraham within the history of salvation.
The article consists of four parts. The first part, by way of introduction, presents some of the difficulties evidenced in contemporary attitudes towards the genealogies, and then lists the various functions of biblical, especially Old Testament, genealogies. The second part presents an overview of the main differences between Luke's and Matthew's genealogy as well as the classic interpretations of these differences. Building on the first previous two parts (i.e., the background of biblical genealogies in general, and the background of the differences between Luke's and Matthew's genealogy), the third part of the article focuses on the unique features of Luke's genealogy, aiming to discern the significance of these differences and particularities in the genealogy of Luke. The fourth part deals with the meaning of Luke's genealogy in its immediate context (Lk 3:21-22; 4:1-13; 3:1-2). Finally, in the conclusion, the article singles out some of the more important points of continuity as well as the differences between the roles of Jesus and Abraham in the history of salvation.
