Melchi (Luke 3:24)

Melchi (Luke 3:24) is a genealogical ancestor named in Luke’s genealogy at Luke 3:24. The verse places his name within a sequence that reads, in part, “the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Joseph.” The supplied evidence identifies Melchi only in this genealogical listing. His name occurs in at least one verse, in Luke alone, in the biblical text.
