All about the ancient tribes
What Tribe Did Jesus Descended From? Jesus was descended from the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David, and it is true that he lived his whole life as a Jew up until his death. His intention, like that of Martin Luther, was not to establish a completely new religion, but rather to change the one in which he was born.
Mattew begins by referring to Jesus as the son of David, indicating that he came from a royal family, and also as the son of Abraham, indicating that he came from an Israelite family; both are stock phrases in which son means descendant, and they call to mind the promises that God made to David and Abraham.
The tribe of Judah was the origin of Jesus’ family (and consequently of Jesus himself) (Matthew 1:1-17). What tribe did Jesus’ father and mother come from? According to Matthew 1:2, Jesus is a descendant of the tribe of Judah.
He had to be a member of the tribe of Judah because there were still other tribe members there at the time of Jesus’ death. The term ″Jewish″ refers to the tribe of Judah, and there were no other tribes present since they had all been distributed to the surrounding nations after the country of Israel, which had divided from Judah, was conquered by the surrounding nations.
Due to the fact that Jesus’ tribe is the same as his (adoptive) father’s tribe, Jesus’ tribe is Judah. During the reign of Herod, the king of Judaea, there lived a certain priest called Zacharias, who belonged to the family of Abia; and his wife belonged to the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth; and they had a child together.
However, even if there was a family link to the tribe of Levite, this does not accord with the teachings of Scripture.One reason for this is that Jesus is clearly descended from the Tribe of Judah on both his earthly father’s and His mother’s sides (remember that Mary’s father, Heli, was descended from the Tribe of Judah).2) Jesus could not have been a priest because He is clearly descended from the Tribe of Judah on both His earthly father’s and His mother’s sides.
