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.
