The mothers are almost never mentioned in ancient genealogy.

It is believed by many that Heli was actually Mary'sfather. Among the Greeks, only a man could be considered a genealogical link, so often a husband's 'father in law' was mentioned as HIS 'father'. The Jews would say: 'Genus matris non vocatur genus ("The descendant of the mother is not called (her) descendant")

Because it was a fulfillment of prophecy that Jesus' lineage be 'through the line of David' (Luke 1:32, 35; Romans 1:1-4) with natural and legal right to that throne, the genealogy HAD to be established clearly.(Luke 1:32-35)

*Luke traced MARY'S line through David's son Nathan (Luke 3:31)showing Jesus' natural descent from David(John 6:42)

*Matthew traced JOSEPH'S line through Solomon (Matthew 1:6, 7)showing Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, since Joseph was legally Jesus' adoptive father, giving him legal right.

A:This would come from Matthew's Gospel, since Luke's Gospel says that Joseph's father was called Heli (Luke 3:23). However, Matthew's Gospel only contains a list of the male ancestors and does not provide the name of Jacob's mother. We should not look outside Matthew's Gospel forthe answer because, as Raymond E. Brown says in An Introduction to the New Testament, the genealogy that Matthew provides is unlikely to be historically accurate.

The Bible does not specifically name her, but she would have been the wife of Jacob, Joseph's father.

The father of Joseph was Jacob (Matthew's Gospel) or Heli (Luke's Gospel). The gospels do not tell us who his mother was.
