And what about Mary, the mother of
Jesus? In the genealogy in Luke
Chapter 3, we see clearly that Mary was
a direct descendant of King David which
gave Jesus the legal right to ascend the
Jewish throne as well as establishing
without any doubt that Jesus was a Jew
ethnically.
Was Jesus an observant Jew
religiously? Both of Jesus' parents had
“done everything required by the Law of
the Lord” (Luke 2:39).
