Which chapter contains a scripture proving Christ had an earthly father?

• A. John 1
• B. Revelations 22
• C. Matthew 1
• D. Luke 2

Answer: (A)

The correct chapter that contains a scripture proving Christ had an earthly father is Matthew 1. This chapter provides the genealogy of Jesus Christ, outlining his lineage through Joseph, who is recognized as his earthly father. It emphasizes the connection to David and Abraham, tracing Christ's heritage and establishing his legal right to the throne of David through his father, Joseph. The narrative also includes the announcement of Jesus's birth, reinforcing Joseph’s role in the life of Christ.

In contrast, John 1 focuses primarily on the divinity of Christ and his pre-existence rather than his earthly lineage. Revelations 22 deals with prophetic visions regarding the end times and does not address the genealogy of Jesus. Luke 2 describes the events surrounding Christ's birth and early life but does not serve the primary purpose of illustrating Joseph as his earthly father in the same genealogical detail as found in Matthew 1.
