Luke 3:37

"the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,"

Key Reflection

This genealogical line traces Jesus back through a series of patriarchs, emphasizing his connection to the human lineage that survived the Flood with Noah. By including Cainan, Luke provides an accurate historical account, bridging the gap between the biblical figures and Jesus, reinforcing His role as the Messiah for both Jews and Gentiles.
