Inilah yang aku temukan dari SDA Bible Commentary. Barangkali bisa membantu.. 16. Joseph the husband. Matthew carefully avoids stating that Joseph "begat" Jesus. Joseph was related to Jesus, says Matthew, not as His father, but as the husband of His mother. The generic link "begat," employed up to this point, is dropped, Matthew thereby emphasizing the fact of the virgin birth. Mary. Gr. Maria, Mariam in the LXX, from the Heb. Miryam. Like Joseph, Mary was of the house of David (DA 44; cf. Acts 2:30; 3:23; Rom. 1:3; 2 Tim. 2:8), for it was through her alone that Jesus could literally be "the seed of David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3; cf. Ps. 132:11). The fact that Mary's "cousin" (Luke 1:36) was "of the daughters of Aaron" (Luke 1:5) in no way requires that Mary be of the tribe of Levi instead of the tribe of Judah. For the word translated "cousin" see on Luke 1:36. It seems that Mary spent her early life in Nazareth (Luke 1:26). She had a kinswoman, Elisabeth, the wife of Zacharias (Luke 1:36). Also, she had relatives in Cana, a village near Nazareth (see John 2:1, 5; DA 144, 146). The idea that her mother's name was Anna is based exclusively on tradition. Mary was highly favored of the Lord and blessed among women (Luke 1:28, 42). From the first promise of a deliverer, who was to be of the "seed" of the woman (Gen. 3:15; Rev. 12:5), devout mothers in Israel hoped that their first-born might be the promised Messiah (DA 31). To Mary this great and unique honor was given.[1] ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of pisctwentyfour Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 10:09 AM To: PEMUDA ADVENT; PA DKI; pomanet pa Subject: [Pemuda Advent] APA BENAR YESUS ADALAH KETURUNAN DAUD? Ada satu kasus yang tidak tau ini ringan ato berat tetapi semoga teman2 bisa memberikan pendapatnya... Yesus disebut sebagai keturunan Daud, itu tertulis dalam silsilah Yesus yang terdapat dalam matius pasal 1dan juga dalam Lukas pasal 3 : 23 -> nah sekarang pertanyaannya adalah : - kalau kita baca terus maka yang keturunan Daud sebenarnya adalah Yusuf, yang notabene bukanlah ayah Yesus. dan Yusuf hanya tunangan Maria yang akhirnya mengambil maria sebagai istri..Yesus tidak ada hubungan biologis dengan Yusuf, juga tidak ada hubungan darah.. - lukas 3:23 mengatakan Yesus memulai pekerjaanNya, Ia berumur kira2 30 tahun dan menurut anggapan orang Ia adalah anak Yusuf, Anak Eli, dst...... nah yg saya garis bawahi disini adalah terjemahan kata Anggapan Orang ternyata itu kok cuman anggapan orang saja... -walaupun dalam buku Roma (1:3) jelas dikatakan bahwa Yesus menurut daging diperanakkan dari keturunan Daud, tapi ini tidak menutup kemungkinan penulis buku Roma mengambil referensi dari buku matius dan Lukas .... ________________________________ [1]Nichol, Francis D., The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, (Washington, D.C.: Review and Herald Publishing Association) 1978.
