Then how do you account for the fact that in Matt there are 26 generations between David and Joseph and that in Luke there are 41? Each with a "begat" or "son of" between? That can't be accounted for by name changes. Matt: Joseph, (9 ommitted), Zerub'babel, Sheal'tiel, (14 ommitted), David. Luke: Joseph, (18 ommitted), Zerub'babel, Sheal'tiel, (20 ommitted), David. I guess fundamentalists have to reject counting as well as evolution, since it contradicts with their biblical interpretation. :-) -- Mike Huybensz ...decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!cybvax0!mrh
