Bible Question (short): Who was Joseph's father? |
Question (full): I know this subject has been discussed before, unfortunately as I browsed the many theories I find myself still with unanswered questions regarding Joseph's geneology. Luke 3:23-38 says that Joseph was the son of Heli and Matthew 1:1-17 says that Jacob was the father of Joseph. So, who was Jospeh's father? I have noticed that someone said Heli was Mary's father, but they gave no scriptural evidence to back it up. Does anyone know who Joseph's father really was? I'm writing a book and it is imperative that I know. |
