Why did Matthew and Luke presented the genealogy of Jesus?

answers1: I'm not going to give you your whole essay, but I will give
you these facts to ponder: Luke was a historian, so his including
Jesus' genealogy (all the way back to Adam, through Mary's line) was
somewhat mandatory. Matthew, on the other hand, was making an
argument for Jesus being the Messiah, from the line of David (though
his list is through Joseph's line). This is why he counted the number
of generations between Jesus and Abraham. <br>
<br>
It's kind of odd when you stop to think about it, but Joseph and Mary
were of royal blood. Especially Joseph. There's nothing to say that
he wasn't from a line of firstborns since Jeconiah, the last king of
Judah. We're not given the birth order of Joseph's ancestors after
Jeconiah.
answers2: if you read the genealogy in the bible, and the begats and
whatnot its pretty nasty stuff, <br>

anything with two feet.
