Each human infant has 50% of his/her DNA from the father and 50% from the mother. Yet none of these believers have God’s DNA.īut the Virgin Mary carried Jesus in her womb for nine months.

He has also granted them the privilege of “hanging out” with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, His perfect created beings, and believers from all time in His heavenly abode. God has given each one a perfect eternal body and an eternal incorruptible heavenly inheritance. God adopts all believers in Jesus Christ into His family. Joseph adopted Jesus as His earthly father, so Joseph’s genealogy is credited to Jesus through adoption. Although this lineage is through the Kings of Judah, it does not end in Jesus, the Son of God. His descendants are not as well known as the royal descendants of Matthew’s genealogy from King Solomon and beyond.Įvery theologian and serious student of Scripture accepts the fact that Joseph’s royal lineage does not contribute any DNA to Jesus. But Luke’s record of Mary’s ancestors proceeds through David and Bathsheba’s older son, Nathan. Matthew records the royal kingly lineage, as noted. The genealogies list the same people from Abraham to King David, but diverge with different descendants following King David.

Luke documents the lineage of Jesus from Adam to Mary, Joseph’s wife. Matthew lists the royal lineage of Jesus through King David and the kings of Judah ending in Joseph, Jesus earthly father. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke record differing genealogies of Jesus.
