Is Luke 3 the genealogy of Mary?
No. Luke 3:23-24 (KJV) proves that this was the genealogy of Joseph: "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, which was the son of Matthat ..."
Where does Bible talk about Joachim the father of Mary?
The Bible does not mention a Joachim.The only place Joachim is mentioned as the father of Mary is in the Infancy Gospel of James. Although the Infancy Gospel of James is non-canonical, this became Christian tradition. Since the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke name two different fathers for Joseph, theologians since the eighth century have argued that the genealogy in Luke is actually the family tree of Mary and that Heli is her father, so the Christian Church is now more ambiguous about the existence of Saint Joachim. Joachim continues to be the preference of Catholics as the father of Mary, but this is not a universal assumption even among Catholics.
Was Joseph leader in Egypt also the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus?
No, they would have lived in entirely different periods, centuries apart. However the author of Matthew's Gospel drew clear parallels between them, even assigning the name Jacob to the father of Joseph, husband of Mary, in line with the Old Testament Joseph (Joseph's father was called Heli in Luke's Gospel). These parallels are no doubt the cause of some confusion in modern times.
Are Mary and Joseph cousins?
Heli (Gr. HELEI -- Luke 3:23) is evidently the same name as the preceding. In Luke he is said to be the father of Joseph, while in Matthew 1:16, Jacob was Joseph's father. The most probable explanation of this seeming contradiction is afforded by having recourse to the levirate law among the Jews, which prescribes that when a man dies childless his widow "shall not marry to another; but his brother shall take her, and raise up seed for his brother" (Deuteronomy 25:5). The child, therefore, of the second marriage is legally the child of the first (Deuteronomy 25:6). Heli having died childless, his widow became the wife of his brother Jacob, and Joseph was the offspring of the marriage, by nature the son of Jacob, but legally the son of Heli. It is likely that Matt. gives the natural, and Luke the legal descent. (Cf. Maas, "The Gosp. acc. to S. Matt.", i, 16.)Lord A. Hervey, Bishop of Bath and Wells, who wrote a learned work on the "Genealogies of Our Lord Jesus Christ", thinks that Mary was the daughter of Jacob, and Joseph was the son of Jacob's brother, Heli. Mary and Joseph were therefore first cousins, and both of the house of David. Jacob, the elder, having died without male issue, transmitted his rights and privileges to the male issue of his brother Heli, Joseph, who according to genealogical usage was his descendant.

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
Who is the father in law of Virgin Mary?
The name of Mary's father in law is not reliably mentioned in Scripture. Depending upon which scripture one chooses, his name may have been either Jacob or Heli.
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.
Who was Jacob's father and who was Heli's father?
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).
Who was the wife of Heli the father of Joseph?
There is much confusion about 'Heli' and whose father he was. Consider if you will Matthew 1, which contains the genealogy of Jesus' adoptive father Joseph-son of Jacob (verse 16)-from David's son Solomon. On the other hand, Luke 3, which lists the genealogy from David's son Nathan, might also seem to be the family record of Joseph-but he is here listed as being the "son of Heli" (verse 23). A bit confusing in the English translations.However, if we look at the literal Greek it says only "Joseph of Heli"-not "son of Heli." It is true that the genitive "of" does imply "son of" throughout the remainder of the genealogy. But in this case, it is widely acknowledged to mean "son-in-law of"-making Heli the father of Joseph's wife Mary, who truly was the mother of Jesus.
What verse and Scripture is Mary's father mentioned?
There is much debate on this topic. Those who believe the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:23-31 is of Mary would say, 'Heli' was Mary's father:Luke 3:23 Common English Bible (CEB) Jesus' genealogy23 Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his ministry. People supposed that he was the son of Joseph son of Heli.There is no debate; read the passage:The language is quite direct."And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli," [emphasis added]It was generally believed and accepted that Joseph bar Heli was the Earthly father of Yeshua.Mary's father is never mentioned.
Is Anne the mother of Mary?
The Christian Bible never names Mary's mother. But Mary's father is named in Luke 3:23. It says, "Joseph was the son of Heli." Joseph was Mary's husband's name.This could seem to contradict Matthew 1:16 that says that Joseph was the son of Jacob. These chapters follow two different chronologies. But since women weren't as well respected in the day, the Luke 3 chronology starts off with Joseph being the son of Heli, not Mary.Matthew 1 and Luke 3 trace two different people. Their genealogies meet up with King David, and are the same beyond that. Heli was Mary's father, but we don't know who her mother is.Catholic Answer:Apocryphal writings and tradition confirm that Anne was the mother of Mary.
Who was Mary's husband Joseph?
Joseph was the son of Jacob. (Matthew 1:16) He was called the son of Heli (Luke 3:23), this evidently being the name of his father-in-law.
Joesph was the husband of Mary and what relation to Jesus?
Jesus is Joseph's Son. An angel appeared to Mary and Joseph in a dream and said that they will have a child. They were to name Him Jesus.
Who was Jesus maternal grandmother?
Another answer from our community:The Bible (Matthew & Luke) only wrote about the geneology of Joseph (from the line of Judah/David) and not of Mary (from the line of Levi.)Excerpt:"There is no evidence to prove that Mary was descended from David. On the contrary there is evidence to prove that she was not descended from him."1. "The angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary" (Luke i, 27). Joseph, and not Mary, is declared to be of the house of David.2. It is stated that Joseph went to Bethlehem "to be taxed with Mary," not because they, but "because he was of the house and lineage of David" (Luke ii, 4, 5).3. Mary was the cousin of Elizabeth (Luke i, 3), and Elizabeth "was of the daughters of Aaron" (i, 5), i.e., descended from Levi, while the house of David was descended from Judah."Another source lists Mary's parents as Anne (Hannah) and Joachim. Another Answer:I cannot see that there is any mention of Jesus' grandmother in the Bible. There are two genealogies of Jesus in the Bible, but both refer to his male ancestors. Another Answer: With a few exceptions, the Bible is usually patriarchal - male dominated. As noted above, the genealogies given in Matthew and Luke make mention of the male lineage - on both sides as is a currently accepted theory.One of the most widely held theories suggests that Matthew's account follows the lineage of Joseph, while Luke's genealogy is that of Mother Mary. This interpretation would mean that Jacob was Joseph's biological father, and Heli (Mary's biological father) became Joseph's surrogate father, thus making Joseph Heli's heir through his marriage to Mary.The theory continues that if Heli had no sons, Joseph would then become heir to Heli's weath/property as would have been the normal custom. Also, if Mary and Joseph lived under the same roof with Heli, his "son-in-law" would have been called "son" and considered a descendent.Although it would have been unusual to trace a genealogy from the maternal side, there was nothing usual about the virgin birth. Moreover, if Mary - as Jesus' only blood relative - was indeed a direct descendant of David, this would make her son "the seed of David" thus keeping with Messianic prophecies.Therefore, Mary's father appears as Heli and his wife would be the maternal grandmother of Jesus.
Who was Jesus' great great grandfather?
In Matthew's Gospel: Jacob was the father of Joseph; Matthan was the father of Jacob ; Eleazar was the father of Matthan. So Eleazar was the (adopted) paternal great great grandfather of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel: Heli was the father of Joseph; Matthat was the father of Heli; Levi was the father of Matthat. So Levi was the (adopted) paternal great great grandfather of Jesus.
