* Lineage from Abraham to Christ is derived from Matthew's
gospel chapter 1 which follows the paternal line of Solomon (son of David, King
of Israel) through Joseph. Luke's gospel, chapter 3, follows the paternal line
of Nathan (son of David, King of Israel) up to Mary. Hence, Jesus is of the
line of David, as prophesied, both biologically through Mary and as the adopted
son of Joseph.
