Probably neither. New Testament scholars say that neither genealogy, in Matthew or Luke, is likely to be historically correct. The author of Matthew's Gospel chose the name 'Jacob', because the father of the Old Testament Joseph was also called Jacob - he was trying to draw parallels between Moses and Jesus. The reason the author of Lukechose the name 'Heli' for Joseph's father is unclear.


It is because of this contradiction that some modern theologians say that Jacob was Joseph's father and that Heli was Mary's father (in spite of Luke 3:23).
