Bible Question: Is Mary Elizabeth cousin? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ms. Basic! Luke 1:36 tells us that Mary and Elizabeth were relatives, but it is not known whether she was a cousin, an aunt or some other form of relation. "1:36 Elizabeth your relative. It seems most reasonable to regard the geneaology of 3:23-28 as Mary's. ... This would make her a direct descendant of David. ... Yet, Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron. ... Therefore, Mary must have been related to Elizabeth through her mother, who would have been of Aaronic descent. Thus, Mary was a descendant of David through her father." (1) Blessings to you, Makarios (1) The MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing, John MacArthur, pg. 1512 |
