Whose son was Joseph？
son of Jacob, or son of Heli?
• Matthew 1:16 Jacob the father of Joseph the husband
of Mary, of whom Jesus was born
– Matthew was Jewish, writing for Jews, so Matthew recorded
Jesus’ legal right of inheritance as adopted son of Joseph
according the Law of Moses
• Luke3:23 Jesus was about thirty years old when he
began his work. He was the son as was thought of
Joseph [son] of Heli,
– Luke was a Greek writing for Greeks so records Jesus’
physical descent, from Mary, not from Joseph
– The Greek text of Luke lacks the word “son”, it just has “of
Heli”. In fact Joseph was “son in law of Heli”
