A Jesus bloodline is a hypothetical sequence of lineal descendants of the historical Jesus and some other woman, usually portrayed as his wife or a hierodule. Differing and contradictory versions of a Jesus bloodline hypothesis have been proposed in numerous books by authors such as Louis Martin (1886), Donovan Joyce (1973), Andreas Faber-Kaiser (1977), Barbara Thiering (1992), Margaret Starbird (1993), and various websites. Dan Brown's novel ''The Da Vinci Code'' used the premise for its plot line. The 2007 documentary ''The Lost Tomb of Jesus'' proposed that evidence existed to show that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and that their son was named Judah, based upon inscriptions found on ossuaries discovered in Jerusalem in 1980.〔Simcha Jacobovici, Charles R. Pellegrino, ''The Jesus Family Tomb: The Discovery, the Investigation, and the Evidence That Could Change History'' (HarperCollins, 2007) ISBN 0061192023〕 Biblical scholar and author James Tabor has recently affirmed his belief in a married Jesus,〔James D. Tabor, Simcha Jacobovici, ''The Jesus Discovery: The New Archaeological Find That Reveals The Birth of Christianity'' (Simon & Schuster, 2012). ISBN 978-1-4516-5040-2〕 while Karen King announced the discovery of text in a Coptic papyrus fragment, alleged to be a translation of a lost 2nd century Gospel, in which Jesus is made to refer to "my wife". That fragment is now considered, by most experts, to be a fake. Hypothetical Jesus bloodlines should not be confused with the biblical genealogy of Jesus or the historical relatives of Jesus and their descendants, who are known as the ''Desposyni''. ==History of the hypothesis== The 13th-century Cistercian monk and chronicler Peter of Vaux de Cernay claimed it was part of Catharist belief that the earthly Jesus Christ had a relationship with Mary Magdalene, described as his concubine.〔W.A. Sibly, M.D. Sibly, ''The History of the Albigensian Crusade: Peter of les Vaux-de-Cernay's "Historia Albigensis"'' (Boydell, 1998). ISBN 0-85115-658-4 Quote: "Further, in their secret meetings they said that the Christ who was born in the earthly and visible Bethlehem and crucified at Jerusalem was 'evil', and that Mary Magdalene was his concubine – and that she was the woman taken in adultery who is referred to in the Scriptures; the 'good' Christ, they said, neither ate nor drank nor assumed the true flesh and was never in this world, except spiritually in the body of Paul. I have used the term 'the earthly and visible Bethlehem' because the heretics believed there is a different and invisible earth in which – according to some of them – the 'good' Christ was born and crucified."〕 Early Mormon leaders Jedediah M. Grant and Orson Hyde stated it was part of their religious belief that Jesus Christ was polygamous, quoting an apocryphal passage attributed to the 2nd-century Greek philosopher Celsus: "The grand reason why the gentiles and philosophers of his school persecuted Jesus Christ was because he had so many wives. There were Elizabeth and Mary and a host of others that followed him".〔Vern Grosvenor Swanson, ''Dynasty of The Holy Grail: Mormonism's Sacred Bloodline'', page 85 (Cedar Fort, 2006). ISBN 1-55517-823-5〕 This appears to have been a summary of a garbled or second-hand reference to a quote from Celsus the Platonist preserved in the apologistic work Contra Celsum ("''Against Celsus''") by the Church Father Origen: "such was the charm of Jesus' words, that not only were men willing to follow Him to the wilderness, but women also, forgetting the weakness of their sex and a regard for outward propriety in thus following their Teacher into desert places." The French 19th-century socialist politician, Louis Martin, in his 1886 book ''Les Evangiles sans Dieu'' described the historical Jesus as a turned atheist, who had married Mary Magdalene, and that both had travelled to the South of France, where they had a son.〔Christian Doumergue, ''La Tombe Perdue: Le corps du Christ Repose-t-il dans le sud de la France?'' (éd. Pardès, Grez-sur-Loing, 2007)〕〔Louis Martin, ''Essai sur la vie de Jésus'' (Paris: Dentu, 1887. This book also contains ''Les Évangiles sans Dieu'').〕 The Jesus bloodline hypothesis which held that the historical Jesus had married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child with her was brought to the attention of the general public again in the 20th century by Donovan Joyce in his 1973 book ''The Jesus Scroll''.〔Donovan Joyce, ''The Jesus Scroll, a time bomb for Christianity?'' p. 97-98 (Sphere Books, 1975; ISBN 0-7221-5103-9).〕 In his 1977 book ''Jesus died in Kashmir: Jesus, Moses and the ten lost tribes of Israel'', Andreas Faber-Kaiser explored the legend that Jesus met, married and had several children with a Kashmiri woman. The author also interviewed the late Basharat Saleem who claimed to be a Kashmiri descendant of Jesus.〔Andreas Faber-Kaiser, ''Jesus died in Kashmir: Jesus, Moses and the Ten lost Tribes of Israel'' (London: Gordon and Cremonesi; 1977).〕 Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln developed and popularized the hypothesis that a bloodline from Jesus and Mary Magdalene eventually became the Merovingian dynasty in their 1982 book ''The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail'', in which they asserted: In her 1992 book ''Jesus and the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls: Unlocking the Secrets of His Life Story'', Barbara Thiering also developed a Jesus and Mary Magdalene bloodline hypothesis, basing her historical conclusions on her application of the so-called Pesher technique to the New Testament.〔For a discussion between Barbara Thiering and Geza Vermes surrounding this, see http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2065〕〔Thiering, Barbara (April, 2005). (The marriage of Jesus )〕 In her 1993 book ''The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail'', Margaret Starbird developed the hypothesis that Saint Sarah was the daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and that this was the source of the legend associated with the cult at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. She also noted that the name "Sarah" meant "Princess" in Hebrew, thus making her the forgotten child of the "''sang réal''", the blood royal of the King of the Jews.〔Margaret Starbird, ''The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail'', pages 60-62, Bear & Company, 1993. ISBN 1-879181-03-7〕 In his 1996 book ''Bloodline of the Holy Grail: The Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed'', Laurence Gardner presented pedigree charts of Jesus and Mary Magdalene as the ancestors of all the European royal families of the Common Era. His 2000 sequel ''Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus'' is unique in claiming that not only can the Jesus bloodline truly be traced back to Adam and Eve but that the first man and woman were primate-alien hybrids created by the Anunnaki of ancient astronaut theory. The 2000 book ''Rex Deus: The True Mystery of Rennes-Le-Chateau and the Dynasty of Jesus'', Marylin Hopkins, Graham Simmans and Tim Wallace-Murphy developed a hypothesis based on a 1994 testimony by "Michael Monkton" (who claimed to be descended from Hugues de Payens),〔Tim Wallace-Murphy, Marilyn Hopkins, ''Custodians of Truth: The Continuance of Rex Deus'', pages 1-2 (Red Wheel/Weiser LLC, 2005). ISBN 1-57863-323-0〕 that a Jesus and Mary Magdalene bloodline was part of a shadow dynasty descended from twenty-four high priests of the Temple in Jerusalem known as "Rex Deus" – the "Kings of God". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus bloodline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
