    I too find the genealogy of Jesus confusing. Matt 1:16 says Jacob is the father of Jesus but 1:20 says Joseph son of David. Which is father of Joseph Jacob or David?

    Matthew 1: 16 says Jacob is the father of Joseph, not Jesus. Matthew 1:20 tells us that Joseph comes from the generation of David.

    Hello Onnye. Go back and read it again but slowly. Mat.1: 16 states that Jacob begat Joseph, meaning Jacob is Joseph's dad and that Joseph is the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Christ ( proof of His humanity). Mat.1:20 states Joseph thou son of David to show Joseph's lineage to the house of David which is the connection to Jesus being the messiah from the house of David. Remember Matthew speaks of the lineage of Jesus which proves that He, Jesus, is of the house of David. I hope this helps.
