Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?
then my covenant with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
