Jewish genealogy of Mary mother of Jesus I am trying to locate within the bible who was Mary's father?
Mary's mother was Heli, named in Luke 3:23
Are Jacob and Heli really the same person in the Bible?
Yes and no. On the one hand they are both the biological father of Joseph - Jacob in Matthew's Gospel and Heli in Luke's Gospel (although some attempt to explain Heli as the father of Mary, despite Luke 3:23). On the other hand, they have entirely different ancestries. In Matthew, Jacob's father was Matthan, and his paternal grandfather was Eleazar. In Luke, Heli's father was Matthat, and his paternal grandfather was Levi. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) dismisses both genealogies as flaky, while Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) simply says that there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical.AnswerNo. Joseph was the son-in-law of Heli.
