    Why do we have the genealogy of Joseph and not of Mary?

    Genealogy is always from the male. In this case God is the father of Jesus.

    Virgil, Absolutely great question. Why indeed. The geneology of Joseph is irrelevant since he is not the blood father, and of Mary is also irrelevant since in Jewish law the tribe ONLY goes after the father, as long as the mother is Jewish. There is only 1 answer, but I cannot say it here!

    Jewish Society is based upon a Patriarchal Male system. God promised Abraham, because he listened to his Voice, that through his seed all Nations would be Blessed. Genesis 22:18
