“The Lord Jesus was a true man. Blood flowed in His veins. But what blood! Not a drop of Joseph’s blood flowed in Jesus’ veins, for Joseph was only His foster father, and Jesus was in his family only by adoption. There was no drop of Mary’s blood in His veins either; the blood that flows through the veins and arteries of a babe still in its mother’s womb is not its mother’s blood. It is the baby’s own blood. Only after the embryo has been impregnated does the baby’s blood--like any other cell in the body--begin to develop. ... the blood type of the Lord Jesus was like no other. It was the blood of an absolutely unique, completely sinless Person, blood rare beyond all imagining. The Holy Spirit calls it ‘precious blood’” (John Phillips, commentary on 1 John).
