Naggai is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke.
Naggai was an ancestor of Jesus listed in Luke's genealogy as the son of Maath and the father of Esli, belonging to the royal line of David through the post-exilic period (Luke 3:25). Unlike Matthew's genealogy, Luke traces the lineage through Nathan son of David rather than Solomon, and the names in this branch are largely unattested in the Old Testament. Naggai appears only in this genealogical passage and no biographical information is available.
