Bible Question: I see Joseph name only,Where's Marys? |
Bible Answer: If you compare this genealogy here with the one in Matthew you will see they are different. Matthew lists Jesus genealogy through Joseph his adopted step father Joseph proving his lineage and right of heir of the throne of David. The genealogy listed in Luke is the lineage of Jesus through his mother Mary. However in Jewish tradition it list the fathers name rather than the mother. Thus proving Jesus blood lineage to the throne of David. If you follow the two you will see the split occurs at David, the kingly lineage follows Solomon David’s son that took the throne after David but later angered God by worshipping idols. The blood lineage follows Nathan the righteous son of David. EdB |
