Luke 3:23
  Interlinear
[Luke often portrays events from Mary's perspective. He describes the angelic visit to Nazareth, her song of praise and the journey to Elizabeth. The Greek word huios, which ­is used before each name in the family tree below, is a general word for kinship that can be translated: son, grandson or son-in-law. The second name in the genealogy, Eli, could thus be Joseph's father or his father-in-law. The presence of the Greek definite genitive form tou in front of all the names except Joseph's may indicate that he is mentioned only because he is married to Mary.
The family tree has 77 names that can be divided into eleven groups with seven names in each. In addition to the literal meaning, there can be a deeper meaning in names. The meaning of the last ten names from Adam to Noah form a sentence that speaks prophetically about Jesus! It is important to emphasize that word symbolism is not an exact science, see Rev 7:4–8 for more information.]
Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry [Num. 4:47 states that a priest should be 30 years old when he enters the ministry]
It was believed (the general opinion was) that
he was the son of Joseph,
son-in-law of Heli [Mary's father],
