The other disputed terms are: the Greek words:
“Paralambano” “Take or Took unto him”, which properly means to join to one's self and to associate; then the Greek word “Sunerchomai”, which properly means “to come together for conjugal cohabitation”, and finally the Greek word “Ginosko”, which means “Knew her”, imply, in their Jewish idiom and use, sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. “Know” is the same biblical term used in Genesis 4:1 for having full intimate, physical and bodily knowledge of each other in the consummation of the marriage: “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived...” Hebrew is “yada`”, Arabic “yadhja’” or “youdaje’”. Last but not least, “Prototokos” means first of many, as of Christ, the Prototokos first born of all creation, and used with the mention of First that requires, at least, a second and more, such as in: first-begotten, first-born, first tithes, first-fruits, firstlings, etc.:
- “Also I will make him my FirstBorn, higher than the kings of the earth”. (Psa. 89:27)
- “… when he brings in the First Begotten into the world…” (Heb. 1:6)
- “First Begotten of the dead…” (Rev. 1:5)
- “… Forerunner is for us entered…” (Heb 6:20)
- “Reuben, you are my firstborn…” (Gen 49:3)
- Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, every male that opens the womb…” (Exo 13:2)
- “All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify unto the LORD” (Deut. 15:19)
- “…conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Rom 8:29)
- “And she brought forth her firstborn son,... (As it is written in the law of the Lord), every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord)” (Luke 2:7&23)
Last but not least, there is the subject of similarity in names, which in itself base for many controversies and debate. The New Testament intimates us with the Family Tree of Jesus without shedding any light on its honorees. Matthew in the first chapter of Gospel gives the Birth of Jesus naming all the ancestors of Joseph and ending the Tree with: “And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ” while Luke in the first and third chapter of Gospel, gives the Birth of Jesus naming all the ancestors of Mary and end it likewise with Joseph, because Joseph is of the same line and at the same time, he is the cousin of Mary.
In fact the two illustrations prove a historical written record of the historical Jesus, but the minute details of the family stopped at his Birth. This is we read in the New Testament and traditions.
