Bible Question: HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID IF HE WAS CONCIEVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT? HE DID NOT HAVE AN EARTHLY FATHER. |
Bible Answer: Christ's geneology is given in Matt and Luke. Matt traces the lineage through Joseph, (Matt 1:16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.), back to David's son Solomon (Mt 1:7). Luke traces Mary's decendents, (Luke 3:23 When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli), back to David's son Nathan (Lk 3:31). Both Solomon and Nathan are also the sons of Bathsheba (1Chr 3:5). May the Lord Bless You, Phillip |
