Christ was born to parents?

According to the Bible and to Christian beliefs, Jesus of Nazareth was born to a woman who had never had sex, Mary. She was engaged to a carpenter named, Joseph. When she became pregnant he could have had her put away, stoned, or married. Joseph believed Mary's story of being visited by an angel of the Lord and became the earthly father to Jesus. In the book of Matthew is the geneology of Joseph for Jewish records and in Luke, a doctor, is the line of Mary who are following the physical genealogy.So, did Jesus have parents? Decide for yourself.


How is called Jesus family tree?

Jesus had a most interesting family background. He was born to a virgin named Mary, thus becoming a member of the human family. According to the Bible, his life was transferred from heaven to Mary's womb through holy spirit. (Luke 1:30-35) Before the miraculous conception of Jesus was announced, Mary had become engaged to a man named Joseph, who was thus to become Jesus' adoptive father. After Jesus' birth, Joseph and Mary had other children, Jesus' half brothers and sisters. That is evident from the question inhabitants of Nazareth later asked about Jesus: "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?" (Matthew 1:25; 13:55, 56; Mark 6:3) We can conclude from this that Jesus' immediate family consisted of his parents, four brothers, and at least two sisters.
