   The real father of Joseph was Jacob (Mt 1:16); but having
   married the daughter of Heli, and being perhaps adopted by
   him, he was called his son, and as such was entered in the
   public registers; Mary not being mentioned, because the
   Hebrews never permitted the name of a woman to enter the
   genealogical tables, but inserted her husband as the son of
   him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law.  Hence it
   appears that Matthew, who wrote principally for the Jews,
   traces the pedigree of Jesus Christ from Abraham, through whom
   the promises were given to the Jews, to David, and from David,
   through the line of Solomon, to Jacob the father of Joseph,
   the reputed or legal father of Christ; and that Luke, who
   wrote for the Gentiles, extends his genealogy upwards from
   Heli, the father of Mary, through the line of Nathan, to
   David, and from David to Abraham, and from Abraham to Adam,
   who was the immediate "son of God" by creation, and to whom
   the promise of the Saviour was given in behalf of himself and
   all his posterity.  The two branches of descent from David, by
   Solomon and Nathan, being thus united in the persons of Mary
   and Joseph, Jesus the son of Mary re-united in himself all the
   blood, privileges, and rights, of the whole family of David;
   in consequence of which he is emphatically called "the Son of
   David."
