Semein is mentioned in Luk.3.26 as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. He is listed in the genealogy of Jesus, which traces His lineage back to Adam. Semein is said to be the son of Josech and the father of Mattathias. The genealogy in Luke's Gospel is thought to be the genealogy of Mary, Jesus' mother, while the genealogy in Matthew's Gospel is believed to be that of Joseph, Jesus' earthly father. The inclusion of Semein in this genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Jewish culture and emphasizes Jesus' connection to the ancestral line of David, from whom the Messiah was prophesied to come.
