Bible Question: Since Joseph was not Jesus' natural father--Jesus' humanity came through his mother, Mary,--how do the geneologies in Matthew and Luke support that Jesus was a descendant of David? |
Bible Answer: I think your question was answered by amor65 in his answer to the question HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID? I have pasted his answer for you...Because in the Jewish genealogy, the "mother side" is used to trace back the validity of citizenship and thus if a person is considered a true Jew or not. Since Mary was a true descendant of David, her son, Jesus as well as his brothers and sisters were true descendants of David |
