“Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”
The son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God — the genealogy's conclusion — son of Adam, son of God — places Jesus at the intersection of the human and divine. Matthew's genealogy establishes the Jewish-messianic credentials (Abraham to Jesus); Luke's establishes the universal human credentials (Jesus to Adam to God). Jesus comes not merely as Israel's Messiah but as the second Adam, the representative and restorer of all humanity.
