  2. Jan 4, 2022 · Some notable points in Mary’s lineage are that she was a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ( Luke 3:34 ); she was specifically of the tribe of Judah (verse 33). She was also a descendant of Boaz (verse 32) and David (verse 31). Significantly, Luke traces Mary’s lineage all the way back to Adam (verse 38).

  3. Jan 1, 2001 · The genealogy in Luke 3:23-38 is evidently that of Mary, though some believe it is also Joseph’s, by assuming that Matthan (Matt 1:15) and Matthat (Luke 3:24) were the same person and Jacob (Matt 1:16) and Eli (Luke 3:23) were brothers (one being Joseph’s father and the other his uncle).

  4. Lineage. In Luke 1:36 Mary is called a kinswoman of Elizabeth, a daughter of Aaron ( Luke 1:5 ). This may be thought to suggest that Mary also belonged to the tribe of Levi, as indicated in Text XII Pat ( Simeon vii), but other indications argue strongly that she, like Joseph, was of royal lineage.

  5. Frequently Asked Questions on the Genealogy of Mary, Mother of Jesus. What is the lineage of Mary, Mother of Jesus? How far back can we trace Mary's family tree? Are there any historical records or documents that support Mary's lineage? Did Mary have any siblings or cousins mentioned in the Bible?

  6. The Gospel of Matthew does give a genealogy for Jesus by his father's paternal line, only identifying Mary as the wife of Joseph. John 19:25 states that Mary had a sister; semantically it is unclear if this sister is the same as Mary of Clopas, or if she is left unnamed. Jerome identifies Mary of Clopas as the sister of Mary, mother of Jesus.

  7. M ary was the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus Christ, who was conceived within her by the Holy Spirit when she was a virgin. She is often called the “Virgin Mary,” though never in Scripture are those two words put together as a proper name ( Matthew 2:11; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27; Acts 1:14 ).
