What does Luke 3:25 mean?

Many scholars believe Luke's genealogy establishes the lineage of Mary, which would make Jesus a literal blood relative of David. Others differ, but in any case, both Luke and Matthew (Matthew 1:1–16) establish the legitimacy of Jesus' claim to fulfill Old Testament prophecy (2 Samuel 7:12–16).

Commonly used names are found here, as in several other points in this genealogy. In this verse, Amos and Nahum are not the corresponding Old Testament prophets. Mattathias, as well, shares the exact same name with an ancestor (Luke 3:26) and an extremely similar name to others (Luke 3:24, 29, 31).
