Bible Question: Who is Mary's father? I've heard the tradition of Anne and Joachim and even read a novel perpetuating that myth but there is no Joachim listed in either of Jesus' geneologies. |
Bible Answer: Norrie Luke 3:23 begins Jesus Genealogy through Mary's side. Her father is listed as Heli. Luke says it is Joseph's father but he did this to list the men. However if you compare this genealogy with the one in Matthew you will see it far different. Matthew lists Joesph's genealogy. The split comes at David, Joseph's genalogy follows the kingly line through Solomon. Mary's follows the blood line through Nathan. EdB |
