Luke 24

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

What do you mean "post Tanakh"? You do realize that the LXX Greek form of Hebrew names varies considerably one source from another, where they overlap. For example, LXX 1 Esdras overlaps HB 2 Chronicles 37-38, Ezra and part of Neheniah & LXX Paralipomenon B 37-38; and LXX 2 Esdras overlaps HB Ezra and Nehemiah.

A table of the NT names in Jesus' supposed genealogy follows. I'd recommend searching for the Greek forms of the names in the LXX Greek translations of 1 Esdras, 2 Chronicles 37-38, Ezra and Nehemiah.

By post Tanakh I was referring to the latter ancestors of Joseph which are names of people not appearing in the Tanakh but inventions of the gospel authors.

These different genealogies could have had some importance among a jewish environment, but they were (and they are) almost meaningless for the majority of christians, after, say, 150 CE. Much later, around 1650 CE, the french bishop Bossuet would say at a mass that "Jesus was the son of God, but also, Mary belonged to a very good (understand "noble") family." Louis XIV attended this mass...

We need a proof that "Luke" knew "Mary"...

I wonder why GLuke got some Hebrew names all wrong while others were produced in a normal pronunciation. I assume Josech is YEHOTSEDEK. Maybe HESLI is actually YEHEZKEL. Rhesa and Mahath? Search me......

After reading through this thread, I've become completely puzzled. How could Jesus' ancestry be traced through Joseph. Wasn't God Jesus' father? Shouldn't Jesus ancestry be traced through the real father rather than through Mary's husband?"

Puzzled!?

This.

Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit/God.

There is no genealogy for the child that goes back to the House of David if he is the son of a god.

Only those trying desperately to make a link to make Jesus the Messiah of the Hebrew Bible try to, ignoring the fact that any link they make then discredits the idea that Jesus was the son of a god.

My fundamentalist friends get around this little discrepancy by claiming Joseph adopted Jesus and by that act, Jesus can be part of Joseph's lineage.

Wonky, I know, but then most of the story is.

The names would come from the Septuagint, and would reflect a Koine Greek approximation.
