Moreover, Jews argue that the Messiah must descend through David's son Solomon (2 Sam 7:12–16, Psalm 89:28–38, 1 Chronicles 17:11–14, 22:9–10, 28:6–7). Luke's genealogy of Joseph is traced back to David through his son Nathan (who was not a king). They argue this eliminates Jesus' genealogy in Luke.

The story of Jesus' death, therefore, involved a profound shift in meaning from the Old Testament tradition. [56] The name "Old Testament" reflects Christianity's understanding of itself as the fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy of a New Covenant (which is similar to "testament" and often conflated) to replace the existing covenant between God ...
Measuring 3.25 metres wide by 4 metres high, its focus is an olive tree representing the Tree of Jesse, which displays Christ's lineage from Abraham to Saint Joseph and other biblical motifs. Situated in the passage used by pilgrims making their way to the Grotto of the Nativity, the bas-relief also incorporates symbolism from the Old Testament.
The earliest New Testament texts which refer to Jesus, the Pauline epistles, are usually dated in the 50s CE.
