Luke 3:23

Luke 3:23 says, And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,  When Jesus was about thirty, He began His ministry.  Matthew Henry points out that this was the age that a priest began his full ministry.  The rest of the chapter gives the genealogy of Jesus, from Mary's side, whereas Matthew gives it from Joseph's side.  In both, Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise of the way of salvation.  I will just present the rest of the verses.  Verse twenty-four,  Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,  Verse twenty-five,  Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,  Verse twenty-six, Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,  Verse twenty-seven, Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,  Verse twenty-eight, Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,  Verse twenty-nine, Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,  Verse thirty, Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,   Verse thirty-one, Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,  Verse thirty-two, Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,  Verse thirty-three, Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,  Verse thirty-four, Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,  Verse thirty-five, Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,  Verse thirty-six, Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,  Verse thirty-seven, Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,  Verse thirty-eight, Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.  Luke follows the lineage of Jesus all the way back to Adam, and thereby to Eve, where the promise was made that her seed would bruise the head of the serpent.  All of God's written word is the truth throughout.
