      It should be noted that, while having two or three children with the same name would have been quite normal in a Greco-Roman household, it was very uncommon in Jewish households. You can easily have two Agrippinas in the same family because the Roman parents would have called the elder Agrippina and the younger Agrippinilla. The same can't be done with Jewish children.

      A professor Latin once told the practise of name children among the Roman farmer pretty basic: After the first three sons they just started counting, Sextus just means the 6th one.
      Ceasar belonged to the gens Julia so his daughter was called (a) Julia, he had a few aunts on his fathers side also called Julia. When there were three daughters in a household of the Julian family they would be Julia Major, Julia Minor and Julia Tertia.

      @@mowvu5380 I mean, it might not mean much coming from me, someone who isn't religious, but it doesn't seem hard to believe in one thing and see that there's plenty of people in the past who believed in various different things. Similarly, I believe in modern-day science to explain the world around me while accepting that it's flawed and incomplete in many ways, and I don't find it hard to reconcile this with the fact that many people of the past to had their own forms of science that I disagree with. For example, the Greeks have the belief that all things in the world are made of classical elements: earth, water, air, fire, and aether. This was their form of science. I don't agree with their science or the science of many other older civilizations, but the fact that many other civilizations having a form of science as a construct to explain the world around them doesn't make me believe modern science less.
      Heck, an average religious person would probably agree that not everything they believe in is correct, yet it's not strange to hold strong to your current beliefs. For example, you probably find it unlikely for ALL of what you think is true to be true (because you believe countless things to be true, so it's likely at least some of them will be wrong), yet you'll still believe each of your individual beliefs to be true, like that the Earth is round or that the world is made of atoms, because that's what you grew up learning and understanding while finding the most intuitively reasonable. And if you found proof that one of your beliefs is incorrect (say a scientific study you believed in turned out to simply be wrong), would that make you no longer believe in all your other beliefs? No, you'd likely find some explanation/rationalization as to why you were wrong (perhaps that specific scientist or experiment was bad, or some systemic issue causes bad studies like these to arise), then change that one belief (and perhaps closely related beliefs and similarly derived beliefs), then keep your remaining ones untouched. Human beings are varied/diverse creatures, so it's not strange for us to believe wildly different things such that should a specific incorrect belief prove to be fatal (e.g. berries that look like this are safe to eat), not everyone dies for believing in the same thing.

      @@mowvu5380 What? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Archeology has done nothing but back up and confirm the Bible. Many biblical people and places have been found through archeology. Archeologists even refer to the Bible when they are excavating any area the Bible refers to. As for the bones of animals that lived millions of years ago, we just use our best guess as to their age with carbon dating but while it’s a tool used to determine age it’s not the only tool and it’s far from being perfect and at times wildly inaccurate. We’ve found dinosaur bones with soft tissue which according to science lasts much less than 1M years. We’ve carbon dated dinosaur bones to only a few thousand years old. There have been recent known living animals that passed away and we carbon dated them and got crazy results like 30,000 years old. It’s just science using their best guess and science is always changing. I would put all my eggs into that one basket just because a rock with uranium decay dates to 14.6 Billion years.

This is so masterfully done, even from a historical perspective alone, but from a religious viewpoint, it is incredibly respectful for having been made by a non-Christian-and I was particularly excited to hear you included us Eastern Orthodox! Here in the West we usually get left out, or just lumped in with the Roman Catholics, LOL.
    One additional point I would add to your later discussion about the numerology of the genealogies is that 14 is the gematria/numerological value of David (DVD). Since St. Matthew was writing to a primarily Jewish audience, his Gospel focuses on how Christ is the fulfillment of the Jewish Messianic prophecies, a king of the line of Judah (Gen. 49:10) and of the line of David (2 Sam. 7:12-13). Arranging his genealogy this way is just another reference to the Scriptures the Jews of his time would have known well.
    Wonderful video, as always! Very insightful, thank you!

      @@greatvidznaga3183 the Bible is a religious text compiled and confirmed by the Orthodox/Catholic Church (pre-schism). It is a liturgical text that is situated within Holy Tradition, not opposed to it. There is no such thing as “just following the Bible” in Christianity; this is not a historical position of Christianity, is not found in Holy Scripture, and in practice, fails, because each person injects their own biases into what Holy Scripture says.

      ​@@greatvidznaga3183 I see where you're coming from, and I used to feel the same as you, but the more I read Scripture and understand the historical context of Scripture, the more it becomes clear that the Bible *does* give Mary preeminence (not to elevate her to equality with God, which neither Orthodox nor Roman Catholics do). She rightly deserves this honor because she is the Mother of God.
      I think you'd agree that Jesus is King, so I won't touch on that, but we must then consider who is Queen. Well, that's Mary, of course! In the Old Testament, the Queen of Israel was not the king's wife, but his mother. Note how Michal, David's first wife, is never described as queen, nor Abigail, a later wife. His only wife to receive the title of Queen is Bathsheba, the mother of King Solomon. In 1 Kings 1:15-31, we see Bathsheba intercede on Solomon's behalf to obtain the throne; in the following chapter, Solomon's half-brother Adonijah appeals to Bathsheba to intercede to the king for him, and in 2:17 he says to her, "Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you." In verse 20, Solomon says, "Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you." And in verse 19, we see she has a throne at his right hand. The gebirah, the Hebrew queen-mother, is the right hand of the king and is the chief intercessor to him. Jesus was incarnate in a Jewish context, and He knew this. He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Thus, we can safely conclude that Mary is the Queen Mother of our Lord and King Jesus Christ, and in turn, the chief intercessor to Him for us. (This doesn't mean we can't approach Him directly! We certainly can :) But what king refuses His mother?)
      In Luke 1:28, the Archangel Gabriel appears to Mary and calls her "highly favored" and "blessed among women." This is certainly high praise from an angel! Her older cousin Elizabeth echoes this praise in verse 42; in Jewish culture, it was custom for the younger to honor the elder, NOT the other way around, so clearly Elizabeth recognizes an elevation of her young cousin Mary. In her song of praise, Mary says, "He has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly," referring to herself. The Greek "exalt" is hypsoō, which carries royal connotations. Further, in verse 35, Gabriel says, "the power of the Highest will overshadow you"; the Greek used here is an inflection of episkiazō, which is the same word used to describe the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit on the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 40:35 (Greek Septuagint). It is clear from this chapter alone that Mary is deserving of praise! (NOT worship, which is reserved for God alone!)
      Christians have given the Virgin Mary, the Theotokos (Greek for God-bearer), honor since the very founding of the Church! Her position of honor is 100% biblical. I hope this is helpful!! Please let me know if you have any more questions! :)

      Are you any other religion? I was raised from pre-school until I was 17 YO. I then was baptized as a Missouri Lutheran Synod. ( the strict ones) I then went to various Baptist, and Pentecostal churches. I firmly believe God will bless Israel.
      I am 70 YO now. I believe in Christ as my Savior. That is what I was taught. I don't believe "THE ONLY WAY TO GO TO HRAVEN IS TO BELIEVE IN CHRIST ONLY."
      In My Humble opinion, Since we know God loves us all, he had to send different "prophets/Teachers to reach all his children. SO he sent "Buddha" for that part of the world. He sent Mohammad for that area of the country. And the Hindu God's for India and that area. The Native Americans believe in the Creator. The father of everything. (Many are Catholic , with NA traditions worked in.)
      Many religions have the same creation stories. The same standards to live by. It is "Evil" teachers of any religion who pevert their OWN holy readings. This only makes sense to me. There are good holy people of all religions. So, I think there will be all different religions and people going to "Heaven."
      If you have "No church affliation, the church ID reccomend ID a group called "Friends." Sometimes they are called 2X2's. They might be hard to find as they don't believe in spending money on "Churches." The preachers go from area to area preaching to the group in that area. Many are single, so they stay in family homes. No pressure to give a tithe or anything...They believe you will listen to the spirit when he tells you to donate.
      Bless you!

That why in earlier of my age there are argumentation or debate between the Catholic faithful and Prostestant insisting Mother Mary is no more Virgin. Or may be now thet realized that Mother Mary is truly only now. We Catholic and Orthrodox Church believe is a pure in state of Virgin that's why we have dogmatic and Cathecism believing still Virgin.

      No. There are step by step instructions on how to treat ALL, not just "some" who "might agree with you." "Narrative" is close-mindedness. It allows for human "grays" while GOD IS black & white. YOUR REASONS for ANY action won't matter. The intent of every present moment flows into each one after affecting more than yourself. Even when you think you are alone & no one sees. A murderer affects more than themselves & their victim, correct? A thief passes the cost on to everyone else. A liar spreads disharmony & harm to those who hear & to those their lie is about. An apathetic person is the worst. Seeing harm to another & not offering help is apathy. The ONLY REAL instructions: treat OTHERS as they WANT to be treated. Open your home to someone who NEEDS a hand up, BUT they MUST want to rise from their position & HELP THEMSELVES to where you are showing them. Feed someone outside a store or buy them a bottle of water. Kindness. Intent. Living as Jesus did. No matter HIS intent, how much LOVE did it take to THINK His GOD had abandoned Him & STAYED UPON THE CROSS for ALL SIN, in His belief? Would YOU do that? I would take it from Him IF I could. See more than what others teach you. Even me. THINK for yourself.

      "Who are Israelites;
      To whom pertaineth the adoption,
      And the glory,
      And the covenants,
      And the giving of the law,
      And the service of God,
      And the promises;
      Whose are the fathers,
      And of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." Rom 9:4-5
      "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew, or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or Hebrew." -The Jewish Almanac, 1980, p.3
      There were Israelites in the Kingdom of Judaea, and Israelites of the Kingdom of Israel. Those in Judaea were called JUDAEANS, not "Jews" as the Jewish Almanac attests.

      Being a doctor would have meant that Luke was educated and knew how to write. Keep in mind that education was not all that common in Jesus day, and relatively few knew how to write, thus, Luke, being able to write, would have been a natural chouce for a scribe.

      Well, they really weren't greek translators. The originals were written in greek and Mary is Μαρία. The hebrew name would be the equivalent of Miriam, like James - Jacob, Jesus - Joshua. Mary was just a very common name in first century Judea and an unprecedented number of women living at the same time and interacting with each other are named.
      I'm not really sure I'd make Mary of Bethany, Lazarus and Martha's sister, the same person as Mary Magdalene.

Not including the fact many claim a personal relationship, which is never entirly the same as the persons sat next to you in church. Meaning you actually have about 2.4 billion, slightly the same concepts of a one singular god.
      If that doesnt point out the sheer stupidity of unitedly worshipping one singular god, thats different in everyones personal mind!
      Comical.
      Do you also include judaism and islam. How about tracing the roots of the concepts christianity was adopted from. Sumerian beliefs.

    To me, the differing end bits between Matthew and Luke can just as easily be explained as BOTH being legitimate as neither being legitimate (and most likely both being some combination of the two). Sure, we think of them as just following the strictly patriarchal line, but if you allow for any deviation from that at all you can get a totally different set of names, yet still arrive at a common ancestor later. As a sort of parallel example, if you look at MY family tree, there are a couple of oddities that could lead to exactly this sort of thing. In one case, a man from a more distant part of the country arrived and married a woman whose family owned land, in a situation where even as a daughter she ultimately inherited said land. Since people in that time and place often had farm names functioning as surnames, and she had familial land and he didn’t, the family name went with the woman, not the man - otherwise unusual. In another instance, widespread famine led people to take various desperate measures. A couple left their young child with relatives and set off in search of food elsewhere, and never returned. You can easily see how a genealogy would list that child’s “parents” as the people who raised him and were known to future generations rather than his biological parents who vanished from the record early on. And, yes, because of the way math works, you can follow at least 15 different branches of the family tree and ultimately work your way back to the same one guy - the only one moderately famous enough that people kept track of extra generations to note how they were related to him while other branches peter out into obscurity.
    So, it certainly doesn’t seem like at all of a leap to me to say that Luke just took a different turn at some debatable/confusing junctions than Matthew did, with both tossing in some symbolically important bits for good measure along the way.

      Re Mary & Joseph.... one of them had a line of kings, while the other had a line of priests. It's said of Jesus that He is a King & Priest.
      That can be taken 2 ways.... one is via actual biologically thru Mary & Joseph (although remember there was no consummation between Mary & Joseph) perhaps by claiming Jesus as his son in that time period & culture Jesus would be considered Joseph's son. (Not sure how that worked? Maybe like today's adoption perhaps.
      Then there's the spiritual angle in that Jesus is called King of kings and our high Priest.

      Yep the authors are intentionally hiding the real names of those woman. A Mary is the same as saying a Joe.
      just like they are intentionally hiding their own identity.
      just like they are intentionally hiding the place and time of when they are writing their supposed account.
      If you ever wrote anything important, at least to yourself, you would care to write who you are and why you are writing it.
      These people are claiming to record the coming of GOD on earth and nothing should be more important than that, and yet they do not care.
      The fact that they do not tell us this, is either that they have a really good valid reason for it, or they are making things up and don't want to take responsibility if things go wrong.
      Up until now I have never heard a valid reason so I must assume the latter, since that is exactly what we do to this day when we don't want to take responsibility, remain anonymous.
      That does not mean that what they are writing about is not historical, but you have to read it with skeptical attitude, because now you know that the authors have hidden agendas and do not care about making things up/add/remove to suit that agenda.

    The term “Virgin” for a woman then & long after those times meant an “unmarried” woman. Women were protected by their fathers, brothers or other males in the family & parents arranged marriages for both their sons & daughters. The two families agree to the union & essentially they are “married.” Generally brides marry young, & in most cases the grooms are young. This is to ensure males are not carnally tempted. There is no way Mary would go about pregnant & not be married because she would have been stoned to death. To assume Joseph & Mary had a platonic relationship is naive. The purpose of marriage is to have children.
    There is nothing wrong with assuming that Mary & Joseph had many children. There is nothing wrong with that.

    9:52 Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Mary the sister of Saint Martha and Saint Lazarus are all different person. Saint Mary of Bethany (sister of Martha), she's the one who listened and pour the perfume to the feet of Jesus. In the Roman Martyrology in 2004, Magdalene, Mary, sister of Martha, as well as the woman commit adultery are all different people. This is because of the further research by the biblical scholars as well as the scientists. Therefore, feast day of the three siblings of Bethany is on July 29. Mary of Magdala, also known as Mary Magdalene was on July 22.
    Added information for some people:
    In the gospel of Luke, he metioned disciple who were women. Namely, Magdalene, Joanna wife of Chuza, and Susanna (which means lily), a Galilean woman. It is believed they are the principal sponsors in Jesus' death and burial. Although Joanna and Magdalene are saints in the Roman Catholic Church, through the Roman Martyrology (old and revised version). However, Susanna still not considered as a saint in the Catholic Church. But who knows, maybe in the future.
    In the Philippines during Holy week procession, women in the bible (saints and traditional) are included. For some added information this is the lists of women in the bible (time of Jesus) who are venerated in Christianity, as a saint that's included in the procession.
    Saint Photina - The Samaritan woman who spoke to Jesus in the Gospel of John. She is attributed with a jar with well; a martyr.
    Saint Veronica - The one with a veil with a bloody face of Jesus.
    Saint Mary, mother of John Mark (Mark the evangelist) - The owner of the house where Last Supper took place; one of the principal sponsors too. She is also known as Mary of Jerusalem.
    Saint Joanna of Chuza - The wife of Chuza, friend with Magdalene and Susanna of Galilea; one of the principal sponsors of Jesus; often seen attributed with a treasure box with jewelries.
    Saint Mary, wife of Cleofas - Wife of Cleofas aka Alfeo and cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary; mother of Saints Joseph Barsabbas "Justo", Simeon of Jerusalem, James the Less, Simon the Zealot, Jude Thaddeus (known to have resemblance with Christ), and Mary Salome.
    Saint Mary Jacobe - Mary, wife of Cleophas and Mary Jacobe are same person; She is called Mary, the wife of Cleophas or Mary son of Jacob (James and Jude) ; Traditionally, two images joined during every processions since before. But in year 2012, St. John the Baptist Parish of Taytay, Rizal wrote a letter to the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CPCP) Episcopal Commission on the Liturgy, asking if Mary wife of Cleophas, and Mary Jacobe are similar. CPCP answered it that they are indeed similar person.
    Saint Mary Salome - Aunt of Jesus; mother of Saints James and John the evangelist.
    Saint Martha - The elder sister of Mary of Bethany and Lazarus; known to be the busy sister of Mary while Jesus visited them at their house in Bethany.
    Saint Mary of Bethany - Sister of Martha; the one who listened to Jesus' preaching and the one who poured the expensive perfume in the feet of Christ; Bethany siblings are blue blooded or a member of the rich family. They have lands in Israel, like Magdala which Mary Magdalene came from. This is were the confusion boomed.
    Saint Mary Magdalene - Friends with Susanna, Joanna, and Claudia wife of Pontius Pilate (she's known to be the dreamer of Jesus). Accompanied Mary from the passion and death, until the resurrection together with John. She is different with Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus, as well as to the adulterer woman in the bible.
    Special mentions to some holy or notable women in the bible during the Passion and Death of Christ (Holy week). Traditional Female images in the Filipino Holy week celebration.
    Susanna - A rich Galilean woman, sponsored Jesus burial
    Claudia - Friend of Magdalene, the wife of Pilate. Gave sudario to Magdalene to clean the blood of Christ after scourging at the pillar.

Meanwhile Luke (and especially John) would be more accustomed to the Roman tracing of lineage.
      Just as a side note, John the Gospel was not John the Disciple. The Gospel was written around 85AD, nearly 50 years after Jesus' crucifixion, and long enough for the religion to develop a couple of generations.

      @@skittybug6937 This whole thing is dumb since according to popular christian belief Joseph is NOT jesus's biological father. So what was the sense of giving Joseph's alleged genealogical in Matthew and Luke anyway? And both Matthew and Luke were giving Joseph's lineage

    Jesus was a Jew. Mary and Joseph were Jews. Jesus lived his entire life as a Jew. He was a Rabbi. I’m Catholic, I respect the Jewish religion, because my Lord and Saviour was a Jew.

    Thank you. What I have learned in my fairly long life is that there is something to be learned from all Belief systems. If people could learn to be respectful and tolerant of each other all of humanity would benefit. One lifetime does not appear to be enough to absorb it all. ❤👍

      ALL religions except Christianity, man's "advancement" happens as he/she works to gain God's approval. But in Christianity, salvation is a total gift obtained by a simple
      faith in Christ.

      @@duffgordon9005 The way you state that about Christianity is really oversimplified and therefore simply untrue. ..there seems to be a cult of ministers and congregations spouting that salvation in Christianity is simply a gift from God for having faith in such: However, (for one example) there are Commandments to be followed, isn't all...for another example, (and I have studied theology at Fordham University) part of the divine science is really a science that we don't easily see, but the Bible does say in Acts that the Acts of character are important: "Faith without action is dead."....isn't all.
