Books of the Bible was the son of Non-Persons.
Godhead as "Parent" of Yahweh, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

The Godhead is a construct to help illustrate the concept of the Trinity. The Godhead represents the unified nature of God, whle the Persons of the Father (Yahweh), Son (Books of the Bible), and Holy Spirit represent the distinct aspect it is revealed through. These person, while show as "children/descendants", this is only due to a limitation in presentation. The three Persons are inherently part of the Godhead in Nature, while distinct from each other in person.

The Person of Jesus has the most complicated connections here, in his incarnate form, he is truely the son of Mary, as he was conceived in her womb, and was born to her. He is the legal (but not biological) son of Joseph, since he had no relations with her until after Jesus was born. These are the primary relations followed in this Genealogy. In addition Jesus (in the Incarnation) could be thought of as descended from the Holy Spirit as the record describes the Holy Spirit as "coming upon" Mary to produce the child (I presume in a meta-physical nature). Jesus, even as pre-Incarnate, is also part of the Godhead.

Differing Genealogies of Matthew and Luke

The books of Matthew and Luke both present a genealogy of Jesus, and while they match in the early line, they differ significantly (almost totally) in the later parts of the line. There are several theories that have been proposed through history of how to resolve this.

1) Some have proposed that this is proof that all of this has just been made up. For this work I am rejecting this option, as it is based on the theory that the Bible can be treated as a fairly reliable work.

2) A second theory is that Joseph became adopted as a child, and thus had two distinct 'fathers', one biological, and a second a legal line.

3) Another theory is that one of the genealogies is that of Joseph, and the other is of Mary. When using this theory, most make Matthew the Joseph line and Luke the Mary line.

Luke's genealogy follows the Jewish tradition of not mentioning women, (Matthew breaks that tradition several times). In Luke's genealogy, Joseph's listing is different in two ways, one, it includes the phrase 'so it was thought' and two, every other name in the genealogy is preceeded by the definite article, but Joseph's was not.

A second theory to adopt Luke as the line of Mary would be if Mary was the eldest child of her parents, and had no brothers, then Jewish law would have a kinsman marry her, and the first child would be considered legally of the line of her father, not the father's line. Joseph could have been chosen as that kinsman.

The work uses the assumption that the Lukian genealogy is of Mary.
CHRONOLOGY of the life of Jesus

Dating the Birth of Jesus
While we have no definative date given to determine when Jesus was born, we do have some events to give us an estimate.

  1. From the Nativity accounts, we are told that Jesus was born during the reigh of King Herod I 'the Great', who is generally agreed to have died about 4 BC, or possible in 1 BC.

  2. From the start of his ministry. It is stated that Jesus was 'about 30 years old' when he started is ministry 123

  3. One point that goes against this dating is Luke's mention of the Census of.124
Jewish Marriage Customs

The Jews had a somewhat involved set of customs for marriage in this period (and for most of their history). The couple went through a number of stages:

Informal:
1) Typically, the fathers would introduce the Boy and the Girl to each other when they were young to get to know one another and to see if they are comfortable together. This as an informal process, and often fairly short.

2) If it seems that things may work out, the Girls family would "Promise" her to the Boy and his family. This was not a legally binding agreement, but wasn't taken likely.

Formal.
3) Betrothal, when the girl has grown to a young lady and the Boy a young man, and starting to establish himself, the Boys father works out and pays the Girls father the Bride Price, (in effect buying her). At this point, for most purposes they are legally married, but for a period of typically 6-12 months, the bride still lives with her family, and no 'marital relations' occur. This is a time of proving and validating their worthiness. This is the state of Joseph and Mary when Mary was meet by the angel and became with child by the power of the Holy Spirit.

4) At a later point, typically 6 months to a year later, the Groom would come and claim his bride and take her into his home, and they become fully man and wife. This is likely what occured in Mathew 1:24-25, though the marriage wasn't consumated until after Jesus was born.
While Zechariah was serving as priest in the temple, he is visited by Gabriel and told he would have a son, and when Zechariah did not believe, he was struck unable to speak.125 After Zechariah's time of service was over, he went home and Elizabeth became pregnant, and went into seclusion for 5 months.126
Mary (who was betrothed to Joseph) was told by Gabriel that she would give birth to a son, Jesus by the Holy Spirit (Bible), and was told that her relative Elizabeth was six months pregnant.127
Mary went to a town in the hill country of Judea vist Elizabeth at the home of Zechariah. When Mary greated Elizabeth, then her baby (John "The Baptist" (Gospel) leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit (Bible). Mary stayed for about 3 months.128 When Joseph discovered that Mary was with child through the Holy Spirit (Bible), he first had mind to divorce her quietly, but an Angel of the LORD (Bible) came to him and reasured him, so he took Mary to be his wife, but did not have union with her until after she gave birth.129
* John "The Baptist" (Gospel), son of Zechariah (Luke 1) and Elizabeth (Luke 1), was born a town in the hill country of Judea .130 John "The Baptist" (Gospel) was circumcised The priest was going to name the child Zechariah, after is father Zechariah, but Elizabeth said No, his name is to be John, and when the questioned Zechariah he wrote on a tablet (as he still could not speak) that the boy's name was to be John, afterwhich Zechariah regained the ability to speak.131 Joseph and Mary went to Bethleham, Judea, to register for the census called by Caesar Augustus (during the rule of Governor Quirinus of Syria (Luke 2).)132
* Jesus, son of Joseph (Ἰωσήφ) (Gospel) and Mary (Μαρία) (Gospel), was born c 6 BCE in Bethleham, Judea; One theory, based on astrologically significant events places it at about April 17, 6 BC.133,134
An Angel of the LORD (Bible) appeared to the shepherds (Luke 2) that were living in the fields near Bethleham and announced the birth of Jesus. The shepherds then went off and found Joseph and Mary with Jesus lying in the manger. They spread the word of what they had seen and heard, and all were amazed at this.135 Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day and he was given name Jesus, as the angel had named him.136
Joseph, son of Jacob (Ἰακώβ) (Mt 1), married Mary, daughter of Heli (Luke 3).
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem looking for him. King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2) heard about them and asked the Teachers of the Law where the Christ was to be born, to which they replied Bethlehem in Judea.
King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2) called the Magi and found out when the star had appeared, and sent them to Bethlehem, asking them to report to him so he could come and worship him.
The Magi followed the star and found Jesus with Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him, and presented him with gifts of gold, incense and myrrh. Having been warned in a dream not to go back to King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2), they returned home by another route.137
After the Magi left, an Angel of the LORD (Bible) sppeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to take Jesus and Mary to escape to Egypt because King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2) was going to try and kill Jesus.138
King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2), when he realizes that the Magi had outwitted him, orders that all boys in Bethleham and vicinity, two years and under are to be killed in an attempt to kill Jesus.139
> Book of Matthew in the Bible begins 4 BC.
> Book of Luke in the Bible begins 4 BC.
* King Herod Archelaus (of Judea) became King of Judea 4 BCE replacing King Herod I 'the Great'.
* King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2) died Mar/Apr 4 BC Jericho Other authorities suggest more like 1 BC.140,141
After King Herod I "the Great" of Judea (Ἡρώδης) (Mt 2) died, an Angel of the LORD (Bible) appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him it was safe to come back. So Joseph, Mary, and Jesus came back to Israel. On finding that King Herod Archelaus (of Judea) was on the throne, Joseph was afraid, and withdrew to the district of Galilee, and the town of Nazareth.142 John "The Baptist" (Gospel) grew and became strong in the spirit, and lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel.143
> Book of Mark in the Bible begins C AD 28.
> Book of John in the Bible begins C AD 28. John "The Baptist" (Gospel) preached the message of repentance in the wilderness, Judea.144 Jesus was baptised in the Jordan River by John "The Baptist" (Gospel).145 John "The Baptist" (Gospel) had been put in prison.146 Jesus went throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogue, proclaiming the good news, and healing the sick.147

Teaching: Jesus spent much of his time teaching the people. We have recorded two sample longer sermons (The longer 'Sermon on the Mount' 148, and the somewhat shorted 'Sermon on the Plain' 149). I do not think these examples are to portray unique events (or exact transcripts of the events they record), but are examples of what he did throughout is time, and included the major lessons he gave that did not fit elsewhere in the gospel narratives.

Teaching Style In Jesus's teaching, he used primarily Parables, Similes, short 'wis' sayings, and character examples (some perhaps from real life, and some as just stories), drawing from the life and environment of those around him (for example, he likely could point to a field, when he said the parable of the sower). This would help with the common people understanding the message. He likely used similar teachings many time during his ministry. The instances of these teaching recorded in the gospels are liking not unique specific instances of these teachings, but provided a general outline of his ministry and examples of what he did, so I will make no attempt to order these teaching through his life, but present a summary of the various treachings record below:

  141. [S305] There is some argument over the date of his death, but 4 BC is the majority opinion. Josephus remarks that it was after a lunar eclipse and before a Passover, and such an eclipse occured on March 13, 4 BC, and the Passover would be the following month. There was also eclipses in 1 BC (and the one on Dec 29, 1 BC would have been a more memorable eclipse). This dating would put the birth of Jesus closer to the BC/AD line, and his age closer to 30 when he started his ministry.

    The 4 BC date, matches better with Herods reign being 37 years from his appointment in 40 BC, and when his sons are recorded as taking over.
