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 was taught that the geneologies in matthew refers to descendants of david to joseph, while in luke- the descendants of david to mary. So, Mary was actually from the line of David. If we cross-check, from david to Jesus, the names were different in Matthew and Luke |
