AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 1:1 The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham: [Ps 132:11; Is 11:1] |
Bible Question: again in Luke the linage is to Joseph and not Mary so if Joseph is not the father of Jesus how then is Jesus a descendant of David? |
Bible Answer: "Jacob was the father of Joseph." (Matthew 1:16) Jesus was "as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli." (Luke 3:23) Joseph can't have two fathers! Hence, "Eli" was Joseph's father in law, the father of Mary, the descendant of David. |
