They're not mutually exclusive. In this case, in fact, both are true. It's well known that Joseph was the carpenter, but according to Matthew 1:16, Joseph was also the son of Jacob.

Was Joseph's father the same Jacob as in Genesis?

AnswerFirst of all, the Jacob in Genesis was certainly the father of the Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, the father of Jesus, came many centuries later than the events and people depicted in the Book of Genesis. Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel clearly says that Joseph's father was called Heli, its author apparently not having identified the possibilities developed by the author of Matthew.


Is Jacobs son Joseph the same Joseph that married Mary?

I asked this question, realised how ambiguous it is because both Josephs' father is Jacob, then did some research and I will now answer it. Jacob's son Joseph (the first Joseph) is the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac. The Joseph that married Mary (the second Joseph) is the son of Jacob, the son of Matthan. No, they are not the same.
