King James Bible
"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,"
This portion continues Luke's genealogy of Jesus, tracing through lesser-known ancestors whose names appear only here in Scripture. These particular names reflect the post-exilic period of Jewish history, bridging the gap between the return from Babylon and the first century. The genealogy progresses backward through Esli and Nagge, names that highlight Luke's use of different source materials than Matthew's genealogy. This demonstrates Luke's emphasis on Jesus' connection to all humanity rather than just royal lineage, as these appear to be ordinary individuals rather than notable biblical figures.
