Best Answer

A:In Old Testament tradition, Jacob was the ancestor of all the Hebrew people, including the Jews. Since Jesus was a Jew, this tradition would mean that Jesus was a descendant of Jacob.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jacob was the father of Joseph, but the virgin birth would mean that there is no blood relationship. In Luke's Gospel, Heli was the father of Joseph, so there is no sense of whether this Jacob was related to Jesus.
