New Testament
Joanan
An ancestor of Jesus Christ listed in the genealogy recorded in the Gospel of Luke.
Joanan is mentioned exclusively in Luke 3:27 as a link in the ancestral line between Zerubbabel and Joseph, the husband of Mary. His inclusion serves to establish the legal and biological lineage of Jesus as the Son of David. Beyond his name appearing in this specific genealogical record, the Scriptures provide no further biographical details regarding his life or ministry.
