What was Jesus grandpa called?

Answer 1

AnswerAccording to Matthew's Gospel, Jesus' grandfather, on Joseph's side, was called Jacob.

According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus' grandfather, on Joseph's side, was called Heli.

The Bible does not tell us the name of his grandmother.

Answer 2

Physically speaking, Mary's father's name was Heli (Eli) according to Luke 3:23, if you accept that this genealogy is Mary's and not actually Joseph's.

Joseph's father's name was Jacob according to Matthew 1:16.

Spiritually speaking, Jesus has always been (and always will be). His Father is God, but he was not born, and neither was God. He obviously was born when he was sent to earth in the form of man, over 2,000 years ago.

Religiously speaking as a Christian, with no disrespect and much honor to those that have other beliefs, Jesus' Father was God, and God had no Father - He always was, is, and always will be. This assumes, from a faith basis, that God the Father, God the Sun, and God the Holy Spirit, are also three in one, and one in three. Gee, I suppose someone could argue that Jesus' Father was Jesus Himself. Yes and No. It a mystery that all Christians accept and believe in - knowing that we will understand fully when we finally meet God.
