  • According to the family records presented in the books of Matthew and Luke, Mary and Joseph (the mother and earthly father of Jesus) had David as a common ancestor - so by birth (through Mary) and by inheritance (through Joseph) he was counted as a descendent of David.
  • Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, Part of the Trinity. He existed before David was born. Mary and Joseph were decendents of King david but they were not his \\\"parents\\\" as Jesus himself created even the womb he abode in for 9 months. If Jesus were a decendant of David, then he would not be sinless, The Bible states that the Holy Ghost (another part of the God-head, or Trinity) overshadowed mary, and She was with child. She was a virgin untill after Jesus was born. The family line back to David is there simply to show those on earth that Jesus is the rightful heir of the throne of David.

  • Mary is in David's lineage also. in Luke 3. Nathan, son of David...Mattatha was Mary's brother. Joseph is through Solomon, son of David..

Jesus right to ascend the Jewish throne through blood in Mary and adoption by foster father, Joseph. Promise to Abraham Genesis 26:4.
  • 2-19-2017 Matthew is the story of a king. The genealogy in Matthew is the royal line, in ascending order because a king traces his ascent to the throne. It is in Matthew that we are told of wise men bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh: the traditional gifts to a king. It is in Matthew that another king tries to murder the infant Jesus to protect his own status. It is in Matthew that Jesus declares most of the new, stricter interpretations of the law of Moses, acting on his kingly authority. In Matthew we see the pageantry of an angel rolling the stone away from the tomb and sitting upon it. The other gospels just say the tomb was open. Mark is the story of a servant. It begins, with only a slight preamble, where Jesus's ministry begins. Very little of what Jesus said is recorded, since a servant's opinions and pronouncements are important only insofar as they come from his master. His last words are not recorded, he just "cried with a loud voice." Mark is a short, terse record of where Jesus went and what he did. There is no genealogy because a servant has none. Luke is the story of a man. As such it has a man's genealogy, recorded in descending order because a man traces his descent from an ancestor. The genealogy in Luke is the legal line, beginning with "as was supposed", which is a legal term meaning "determined by law". The genealogy in Matthew is the kingly line, recorded in ascending order because a king traces his ascent to the throne. The genealogy in Luke says so-and-so "son of" so-and-so, and some of the names were in fact adopted sons. But in Matthew it says so-and-so "begat" so-and-so, a purely human genealogy. Mark has no genealogy because a servant has none. John has a very short genealogy: he is the son of God.
