Best Answer

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus was a descendant of Solomon, son of David, through the male line from his father Joseph.

In Luke's Gospel, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, also a son of David, through the male line from his father Joseph.

Looking carefully at the two different accounts, we can see that Jesus was also the descendant of the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, but Matthew says that Zorobabel's grandfather was Jechonias, while Luke says that Zorobabel's grandfather was Neri. In other words, neither author knew. They were both writing Christian midrash.

Luke is tracing Mary's Line, and Matthew is tracing Joeseph's line.

What was Jesus' nationality?

The bible is clear that Jesus was a Jew in the lineage of King David on his earthly adopted father Joseph side.Answer:Joseph wasn't Jesus' father, so his lineage doesn't establish Jesus' nationality. However, Mary was also descended from King David through his son Nathan (rather than Solomon, as was Joseph), and this lineage established Jesus' earthly nationality as Jewish.

What exactly is Solomon's curse?

King Solomon (son of King David) himself was never cursed, although because of his worship of false gods, God caused the kingdom of Israel to split into two kingdom. However, God cursed Solomon's descendant, King Jehoiachin, saying that none of his descendants would inherit the throne (Jeremiah 22:30). Israel and Judah were conquered and, in fact, none of Jehoiachin's descendants did inherit the throne. This curse is significant because of the New Testament claim that Jesus is the rightful king descended from David. Two different geneologies for Jesus are given in the gospels, both giving a descent from King David. One genealogy (Matthew 1) records the ancestry of Jesus' legal father, Joseph, who is descended from the cursed king, Jehoiachin. Of course, because Joseph is not Jesus' biological father, the curse does not apply to Jesus. The other genealogy (Luke 3) also names Joseph, but interpreters argue that it gives the ancestry of Mary, Jesus' mother. Mary is descended from King David, but not descended from the cursed king Jehoiachin.
