- Jesus was descended from King David
Mattthew gives us his ancestry back through Joseph, Jacob (father of Joseph) and the male line back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, to King David.
Luke gives us his ancestry back through Joseph, Heli (father of Joseph) and the male line back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, to King David.
- Jesus was born of a virgin
- Jesus was born in Bethlehem
- Matthew even found parallels between the birth of Jesus, the flight to Egypt and the Slaughter of the Innocents by King Herod, and the Old Testament story of another Joseph, the birth of Moses and the slaughter of the infants by the Egyptian king.
Luke's account has no parallels with Moses and is so different from Matthew's birth account that one or both must be a departure from the truth.
Many biblical scholars agree that the two evangelists could easily have woven their infancy accounts around the Jewish expectations that they were so familiar with. It is widely accepted that the two gospel infancy accounts are not literally true.
