Bible Question: HOW WAS MARY IN THE LINEAGE OF DAVID? |
Bible Answer: Greetings David Gordon, It is thought that Luke traced Jesus' geneaology (Luke 3:23-38) using Mary's heritage, and Matthew follows the line of Joseph (Matthew 1:2-16). Even though tracing a geneaology through the mother's heritage was unusual, so was the virgin birth. Blessings to you, Makarios |
