耶穌老豆約翰個老豆究竟係邊個

耶穌在世0既爸爸係若瑟
若翰0既爸爸係匝加利亞

Matthew (馬太) states he was the son of Jacob (雅各), while Luke (路加) states he was the son of Heli (希里) . Fortunately, an unlikely source has aided scholars in unraveling this mystery.

The Jerusalem Talmud indicates that Mary was the daughter of Heli (Haggigah, Book 77, 4). Joseph was the son-in-law of Heli. Luke could rightfully call Joseph the "son of Heli" because this was in compliance with use of the word "son" at that time. Moreover, designating a son-in-law as a son had scriptural precedent.

So, 希里's daughter is St. Mary
雅各's son is St. Joseph
