SON OF HELI?Although Luke doesn't specifically explain his entry of " Heli" he does introduce the genelogy as being the ancestry of Jesus as does Matthew so "Heli" it is reasonable to conclude was being identified as the grandfather of Jesus' in some capacity. Interestingly however, only Matthew employs the word "gennao" (begat) translated by most modern bibles as " became father to...* to"; the specific word "son" (greek: huios) is actually only mentioned by LUKE in relation to Jesus (adopted) "son" of Joseph, all the other names are merely presented as a genealogocial listing, reading literally "... Joseph, which was [...] of Heli" which was [...] of Matthat" ect. In short Luke does NOT specifically state that Joseph was "son of Heli" but only that he was "of Heli" and we the reader is left to deduce as we wish. Thus the understanding that Heli was in fact Joseph's " Father in law"* is both in line with Hebrew tradition, a logical comparison of the various genealogical listings and a strict reading of the actual text. “In constructing their genealogical tables, it is well known that the Jews reckoned wholly by males, rejecting, where the blood of the grandfather passed to the grandson through a daughter, the name of the daughter herself, and counting that daughter’s husband for the son of the maternal grandfather (Numb. xxvi, 33; xxvii, 4-7).” - M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopædia (1881, Vol. III, p. 774) “This study of the text in detail leads us in this way to admit—1. That the genealogical register of Luke is that of Heli, the grandfather of Jesus; 2. That, this affiliation of Jesus by Heli being expressly opposed to His affiliation by Joseph, the document which he has preserved for us can be nothing else in his view than the genealogy of Jesus through Mary. But why does not Luke name Mary, and why pass immediately from Jesus to His grandfather? Ancient sentiment did not comport with the mention of the mother as the genealogical link. Among the Greeks a man was the son of his father, not of his mother; and among the Jews the adage was: ‘Genus matris non vocatur genus [“The descendant of the mother is not called (her) descendant”]’ (‘Baba bathra,’ 110, a).”— Frederic Louis Godet, Commentary on Luke, 1981, p. 129. *Amplified Bible has " the son of Joseph, the son [by marriage] of Eli [Heli] "
