Bible Question: 1) If it is true that Jewish genealogy traces the Mothers side, then why is the focus on Joseph rather than Mary in the Matthew and Luke genealogies? 2) Where do you find evidence that Mary was a decendant of David? |
Bible Answer: badger-in mathew 1 vs. 16 you will notice a shift in structure. every verse prior reports the Father. in this verse joseph is specified as "the husband of Mary"--not the father of christ--a significant point. love in jesus-angel1 |
