    Shows genealogy of Joseph who was not the blood father of Jesus.

    I don't know why this is mentioned.

    Why did it not do the same for Mary , who is linked to Jesus by blood.

    Although Mary was linked to Jesus by blood, her children belong to Joseph's tribe. Example, if a father is from the tribe of Levi and a mother from Judah, children belong to the tribe of father, that is Levi. So genealogy always goes through the tribe of father, not mother.

    Hi Giannis,

    Thank you for your reply.

    What I was wandering, is that Mary was a virgin and didn't have a human father.

    I guess that no one knew at that time that she was a virgin.

    Then Joseph kind of Adopted Jesus so prophecy would be fulfilled.
