Jesus genealogy to the patriarch's (David, Isaac & Abraham) was verified by two Gospel accounts, Luke 3:23-38 (for Mary's line) and Matthew 1:1-16 (for Joseph's line).

Luke's account shows Jesus' natural lineage from King David

Matthew's account shows Jesus' "legal" lineage through Joseph, his legally adopted father.

It was very important that Jesus' lineage be confirmed as it was part of the prophecy that would identify him as the Messiah.

In Mary's lineage, there is a Levi, but he was not a Levite.
