Note: The two genealogies in Matthew and Luke have long been understood to represent two different lineages converging on Christ. Matthew traces the legal/royal line through Solomon to Joseph; Luke traces the biological line through Nathan to Mary (whose father Heli appears in Luke 3:23).

Both names "Shealtiel" and "Zerubbabel" appear in both lines — a notable point of overlap.
