Abstract

The Author of the article is portraying the role he is performing which in work with Luke’s genealogy of the Jesus (Lk 3.23-38) relating to ancient Greek genealogies. It isn’t here about analysis of the family tree of the Jesus according to Luke, but for showing genealogy the function as a literary genre in the composition and content of the Gospel. To this purpose he is presenting very kind at first through the attempt to define what genealogy is (1), next is portraying functioning of this kind in ancient Greek-Hellenic literature (2) in order against the this way scraped background to present the genealogy of the Jesus at Luke (3). These three stages let this presentation for getting more general conclusions which was drawn in the conclusion (the biblical criticism put an end to 4). Biblical genealogies examined from a literary point of view are aimed at justifying the national purity of descendants and they are useful for messianic inquiry. Also adopting the thesis is possible that genealogies serve the connection of known once traditions as separate (e.g. of tradition about the Abraham and Jakub). So genealogy is performing in the Bible (and therefore also in the Gospel of Luke) religious function, not whereas historical.
