Tesseradecads are symmetrical arrangements of texts and genealogies into groups of fourteen. Tesseradecads were common Jewish customs. An example is the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible's book of Luke and in the book of Matthew.
Justin Martyr argued for the genealogy of Jesus in the biological Davidic line from Mary, as well as from his non-biological father Joseph. [2] However, this only implies a general Jewish ancestry, acknowledged generally by authors. The focus of many early sources was on the alleged physical unattractiveness of Jesus rather than his beauty.
An added problem is that, even with several extra names added, there are far too few names for the many centuries this genealogy is meant to cover, as Matthew focuses mainly on Jesus's royalty lineage, not the biological line (which is possibly used in Luke 3) which he did not have access to. [7]
