1 | Was Mary from the line of David? | Luke 3:23 | Douglas Renton | 203640 | ||
Answer: The Bible states in both Matthew and Luke that Jesus is connected to both David and Abraham through Joseph, his legal parent. This is according to the culture of that day. Male lineage was paramount. Joseph was Jesus legal parent and Jesus is accordingly adopted into these lines to fulfil Scripture. The lineage in Luke is thought to be that of Mary, but the Joseph line is still quoted. Mary may have links to David but they are not well attested, and they are probably from extra-Biblical evidence.In my opinion, there is great parallelism between Jesus being adopted into the line of David through Joseph and our adoption into the family of God through our new birth. What happened to Jesus is foreshadowing what happens to us. There seems to be a spiritual dimension to all of this. References:Ephesians 1.5; Romans 8.15,23;also see explanations in most study Bibles. Sincerly in Christ Douglas Renton |

Can anyone advise me of the link between Mary the mother of Jesus and the Davidic line... if there is one? I had thought Jesus link to David was through his legal parent, Joseph, as in the culture of that day, male lineage was taken as the link. Matthew 1. 6-17; Luke 3. 23-31 |
