The Gospel of Luke uses the census to date the birth of Jesus, which the Gospel of Matthew places in the time of Herod the Great (who died between 5 BCE and 1 CE). Most critical scholars acknowledge that Luke is in error, while some religious scholars have attempted to defend the gospel, sometimes invoking unproven claims.
The claim that Luke gives Mary's genealogy is mentioned in a single extant 5th century text, in which pseudo-Hilary cites it as an opinion held by many, though not himself. [60] This claim was revived by Annius of Viterbo in 1498 [ 61 ] and quickly grew in popularity.
Heli (Greek: Ἠλί, romanized: Ēlí; Eli in the New American Standard Bible) is an individual mentioned in the Gospel of Luke as the grandfather of Jesus.

[250] While Matthew and Luke give differing versions of the virgin birth, John quotes the uninitiated Philip and the disbelieving Jews gathered at Galilee referring to Joseph as Jesus' father. [251] [252] [253] [254]
Consequently, all the names between David and Joseph are different. According to Matthew 1:16 "Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary", [38] while according to Luke 3:23, Joseph is said to be "the son of Heli". [39] The variances between the genealogies given in Matthew and Luke are explained in a number of ways.
The duties at the temple in Jerusalem alternated between each of the family lines that had descended from those appointed by King David (1 Chronicles 24:1–19). [5] Luke states that during the week when it was the duty of Zechariah's family line to serve at "the temple of the Lord", the lot for performing the incense offering had fallen to ...
