1603.—Genealogy of Jesus.

Can you explain the differences in the genealogies of Christ, as given by Matthew and Luke?
In Matt. 1:6, Solomon is given as the ancestor, in place of Nathan as given by Luke (chapter 3:31).
The one, Matthew, gives the lineage of the mother, the other, Luke, through the lineage of the legal father, Joseph, tho both mention Joseph at the last, because genealogy is reckoned legally through the father.
