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: Mary as well as Joseph was a direct descendant of David. The genealogies in Matthew and Luke list separate lines from David to Jesus. It is generally thought that Matthew gives Joseph's line (the legal line) and Luke gives Mary's line (the blood line). |
