Can any of you give clarity to the verse below..

Revelation 22:16 King James Version (KJV)
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Mary was not of the house of David, Joseph was. If Jesus was an immaculate conception then he was not an offspring of David ???
 Quoting: Loup Garou


The immaculate conception is a reference to Mary being sin free, not Jesus.

Biologically it is incredibly unlikely that there would not be a link from David to Jesus through at least some of Mary's parents/grandparents etc, however the point of Matthew 1 is that Jesus was legally part of the Davidic line by Joseph, Joseph adopting Jesus by marrying Mary and then him naming Jesus. Interesting in Luke, Mary is instructed to name him also.

25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
 Quoting: Matthew 1:25 (ESV)


The highlight you made in Rev 22:16 fulfils Isaiah 11:1
