“In the two genealogies given in the New Testament of Jesus Christ, one is traced through Solomon and one is traced through Nathan. This is not a contradiction. The genealogy with Solomon in it is recorded in Matthew (Matthew 1:7) which traces the genealogy through Joseph. The genealogy with Nathan in it is recorded in Luke (Luke 3:31) which traces the genealogy through Mary (the record in Luke looks like it is through Joseph, but Joseph is not a ‘son’ of Heli but rather he is a son-in-law of Heli, for Heli is Mary’s father—the word ‘son’ in the Luke text is in italics which means it is supplied by the translators and is not in the original. To be correct, it should be ‘son-in-law’).” (Page 17)

“In spite of his own sorrows, he looked at the sorrow of others and attempted to comfort them.” (Pages 12–13)

“Our own pain has a way of decreasing when we minister to others in their pain.” (Page 13)

“No one saw the evil deed, and no one knew the babies well enough to know” (Page 133)

“Solomon would like to have edited out the bad things” (Pages 300–301)
