What we do know is that Jesus was a Jew and a descendant from the tribe of Judah.

And Samuel said to Jesse (David's father and a person in the lineage of Jesus ...
The closing words of the angel Gabriel, sent by God to inform Mary she will miraculously give birth to Jesus, reveals the family relationship between her and Elizabeth. Now behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman (Greek suggenes, Strong's #G4773) has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren (Luke 1 ...
The third of the four horsemen of the apocalypse rides a black horse (Revelation 6:5 - 6). The rider represents the famine conditions God will allow Satan, who will visibly rule the earth in the End Time, to bring upon all humanity.

It was the most expensive dye known to the ancient Israelites in the Bible. It was the pigment of choice for those of noble or royal birth or those who were high-level officials.

Jesus, several times in the Bible, is referenced as sitting at the Father's right hand in heaven or being exalted by it.

David represented the 13th generation from Abraham in the family tree (the 33rd Biblical generation on earth). He was the youngest of Jesse's eight sons. The prophet Samuel anointed David Israel's new king c. 1025 B.C. when he was roughly fifteen years old. He would not end up ruling, however, until he turned thirty years old in 1010.
As He was saying these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, saying, "Truly, truly I tell you, one of you shall betray Me." Now one of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was leaning on Jesus' chest. And so, Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who was the one of whom He was speaking (John 13:21, 23 - 24, HBFV).
Three of the four Gospel accounts record their attempt to get someone near Jesus to get his attention and let him know what they want. But while He (Jesus) was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and His brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with Him (Matthew 12:46, HBFV, see also Mark 3:31, Luke 8:19).
The travels of Mary and Joseph from Egyptian territory all the way north to Nazareth is a journey of more than 140 miles (225 kilometers, see Luke 2:39 - 40)! Jesus spends his childhood and young adult years living in Nazareth (which fulfills the prophecy stated in Matthew 2:23). After the death of his step-father sometime between his 12th and ...
