The Lineage of Jesus:
God made these great Old Testament promises to the Children of Israel and to all His People.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
The Root of Jesse (Jesse was David’s father)
Isaiah 11:
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
The Genealogical Promises are only fulfilled by one Person, Jesus Christ the Lord.
Jesus identifies Himself in the Book of Revelation as The Root and Offspring of David. Revelation chapter 22 – 12 ..I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
Jesus was also referred to as “the son of David” many other times in Scripture:
Matthew 9:27…And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
Matthew 12:23…And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Matthew 20:30… And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 31…but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Mark 10: 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Matthew’s gospel (Mat 1:2-16). Starts with Abraham and lists his descendants all the way down to Jesus. There are 42 generations in total, divided into 3 sections as follows:
| 1. | Abraham | – David | (from Abraham to David) |
| 2. | David | – Josias | (from David until the carrying away into Babylon) |
| 3. | Jechonias | – Jesus | (from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ) |
Each section contains 14 generations. There are a total of 42 generations from Abraham to Jesus the Messiah.. Mat 1:17.
Matthew’s genealogy
Jesus was called the “son of David” in Mat 1:1, which is a clear reference to his right to inherit David’s throne.
Some think that Mary was only from the Davidic line but Joseph was also from David’s line:
| Jesus’ genealogy is given in two places in Scripture: Matthew 1 and Luke 3:23-38. Matthew traces the genealogy from Jesus to Abraham. Matthew gives the legal descent of those heirs to the throne of David, through Joseph, while Luke gives the physical descent through Mary. Luke traces the genealogy from Jesus to Adam. Luke and Matthew have given us the meeting-point of the lineage David in both of Joseph and Mary.Matthew and Luke are in fact tracing entirely different Davidic lines. For example, Matthew gives Joseph’s father as Jacob (Matthew 1:16), while Luke gives Joseph’s father as Heli (Luke 3:23). Matthew traces the line through David’s son Solomon (Matthew 1:6), while Luke traces the line through David’s son Nathan (Luke 3:31). In fact, between David and Jesus, the only names the genealogies have in common are Shealtiel and Zerubbabel (Matthew 1:12;Luke 3:27).

Many people have been confused as to how the line of Mary and Joseph are both Davidic lines. Below we will join all the Old Testament and New Testament scripture verses together and show the split with King David which leads to Mary and Joseph and comes together with the birth of Jesus. 1. The Son of God, The Creator 2. Adam 3. Seth 4. Enosh 5. Kenan 6. Mahalalel 7. Jared 8. Enoch 9. Methuselah 10. Lamech 11. Noah 12. Shem 13. Arphaxad 14. (Cainan) 15. Shelah 16. Eber 17. Peleg 18.
