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: The book of Matthew gives the paternal ancestory of Jesus which would be necessary to establish His right to the throne, it ends in verse 16 with these words "Jacob the father of Joseph, the HUSBAND of MARY, Of whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ. Luke also gives the geneology but He goes in reverse starting with Jesus himself and he states "Being the Son, as was suppposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli, and going back. Mary was also Joseph's cousin according to history. |
