The New Testament provides two accounts of the genealogy of Jesus, one in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew's gospel (Mat 1:2-16))

and another in the Gospel of Luke (Luke's gospel (Luk 3:23-38)).

Matthew starts with Abraham and works forwards, while Luke works back in time from Jesus to Adam. The lists of names are identical between Abraham and David (whose royal ancestry affirms Jesus' Messianic title Son of David)
