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?

I dont believe something as important as the true ancestry of our Lord and savior should be so obscure,definitely not left to conjecture assumption. Although many answers regarding the biological connection between Christ and his parents SEEM plausable, if their not written in scripture then i suppose any stretch of the imagination will suffice.

Every answer given by us remain speculation due to the lack of evidence the truth about the father of Joseph remain hidden and i believe there is definitely something behind the mystery So i can say we need to search more of truth ME too i want to know the answer but not anybody s opinion
