Bible Question (short): Different Claims On Joseph's Father |
Question (full): Ah, I see. Thanks a lot! But still, both Matthew and Luke trace it back to Joseph. It doesn't seem to be the case, from the use of English, that one traces to Mary while the other traces to Joseph. The Amplified Bible says this of Matthew 1:16 "Jacob, the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ." Luke 3: 23 of the same version says, "Jesus Himself, when He began [His ministry], was about thirty years of age, being the Son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli..." Hence, both say that Joseph's father was two different people. Unless in the Jewish custom, Mary's father would be also equated to Joseph's father because husband and wife are made one flesh. But I am not sure of that, so it would be very nice if anyone would confirm or correct that notion. Thanks a lot once again! |
