text: Part of the prophecy of Jesus Christ was that He must be of the lineage of David, "the root of Jesse" (Jesse being the Father of King David.)  Although not a single drop of blood from Joseph flows in the Body of Jesus.  (it's from the Males that the "sinful nature" is passed down) and The mother's blood never mixes with the unborn child. (that's why they have PATERNITY Tests)\n\nThe Lineage of Jesus is prophisied to be from the lineage of Kings.  If you read the Lineage in the Gospel of Matthew It is traditionally known to be that of Joseph, but the Lineage of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke traces the ancestroy of Mary (not Joseph).  So either way you go, the lineage goes back to King David.  Thereby fulfilling the prophecy of His Lineage from both parents.\nThe prophecy of descending from King David and the prophecy of the blood lineage.   \n\nTwo prophecies out of 435 fulfilled with one set of Parents!!!
