The lineage of Jesus is recorded in two places: Matthew and Luke Most biblical scholars assume that Luke is referring to the genealogy of Mary and that the genealogy recorded in Matthew is of Joseph.
Luke follows Mary's line; Jesus' blood mother, through David's son Nathan. Through both of these lines, Jesus Christ is David's descendant and is eligible to be the promised Messiah.
Tracing a genealogy through the mother's line is somewhat unusual, but the virgin birth is unusual as well! The Jesus bloodline hypothesis which held that the historical Jesus had married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child with her was first postulated by Donovan Joyce in his book: The Jesus Scroll.
In reaction to The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, The Da Vinci Code, and other controversial books, websites and films on the same theme, a significant number of individuals in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have adhered to a Jesus bloodline hypothesis, of Sinclair ; despite its lack of substantiation. While some simply entertain it as a novel intellectual proposition, others hold it as an established belief thought to be authoritative and not to be disputed.
Prominent among the latter are those who expect a direct descendant of Jesus will eventually emerge as a great man and become a messiah, a sacred king who rules a world government, during an event which they will interpret as a mystical second coming of Christ. June The so-called wedding feast at Cana which was actually the dynastic Betrothal, and 3 months before the First Marriage in September [Jesus, His parents, wife, etceteras, were Essenes, living in Qumran north of the Dead Sea and east of Jerusalem.
The Essenes prescribed for the royal lines a First Marriage, and then after the wife was three months pregnant, a Second Marriage. The suggestion is that they wanted to be sure the wife was not barren before committing the royal male to possibly ending up without an heir. In addition to the many Biblical references discussed in my article, there are ample historical and credible books, scrolls, and Biblical texts a documenting the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and b explaining why explicit references to the marriage were excised from the Bible when it was compiled in A.
There is no explicit statement in Bishop Athanasius' version of the Bible that Jesus was or was not married. Many of the disciples were, in fact, married. Unlike Catholic priests, Jesus did not preach celibacy, and there is no evidence that he practiced it. In fact, Matthew suggests that Jesus favored marriage. According to the Judaic custom during his time, it was mandatory that an adult Jewish man be married.
Celibacy was vigorously condemned. It would have been considered freakish for Jesus to be unmarried and celibate at the time. Jesus' rabbinical training and acknowledged Rabbi status in the Jewish community made it certain that he was married. Jewish Mishnaic law commanded it. The Gospel of John describes the wedding at Cana, which was attended by Jesus and his mother. John Jesus performed the duties at this wedding that are ascribed to the "bridegroom" under Jewish law.
The wedding was attended by hundreds of wealthy and influential people like Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus transmuted water into wine at the request of his mother. This was his first public miracle. The Book of Revelations, at and , attests to the marriage of the "Lamb" and his "wife. The male disciples, particularly Peter, resented her spousal influence on Jesus. They escaped censorship and revisions of later Roman Catholic orthodoxy.
They were written for an Egyptian audience, not a Romanized audience. The Gospel of Philip describes three women who were always with Jesus -- His mother, his mother's sister, and Mary Magdalene, who Jesus called his "companion.
Near the end of this Gospel appears this statement: " There is the Son of man and there is the son of the Son of man. The Lord is the Son of man, and the son of the Son of man is he who is created through the Son of man. On the basis of the New Testament references cited in my previous article e. Jesus is a lineal descendant of a royal bloodline. People who lived just a few centuries earlier have many millions of descendants. Where would they have lived? Those centuries were a time of great ferment in the Roman Empire.
Many of these individuals also would have had to 1, descendants years later. And these tens of thousands of descendants of Jesus likely would have been scattered along trade routes from western Europe to southern Africa to eastern Asia. After another years, Jesus would have had millions of descendants. Repeat that cycle five more times and the whole world begins to fill up with descendants of Jesus. Essentially, whether you have descendants is an all-or-nothing proposition in the long run, as two coauthors and I showed in an article in the scientific journal Nature a couple of years ago.
If a person has four or five grandchildren, that person will almost certainly be an ancestor of the entire world population two or three millenniums from now. And if a person lived longer than two or three millenniums ago, that person is either an ancestor of everyone living today or of no one living today.
