[1] {\\son\\ of Heli}
In Matthew, where unquestionably we have the genealogy of Joseph, we
are told
# Mt 1:16
that Joseph was the son of Jacob. In what sense, then, could he be
called in Luke "the son of Heli"? He could not be by natural
generation the son both of Jacob and of Heli. But in Luke it is not
said that Heli \\begat\\ Joseph, so that the natural explanation is
that Joseph was the son-in-law of Heli, who was, like himself, a
descendant of David. That he should in that case be called "son of
Heli ("son" is not in the Greek, but rightly supplied by the
translators) would be in accord with Jewish usage (CF)
# 1Sa 24:16
The conclusion is therefore inevitable that in Luke we have Mary's
genealogy; and Joseph was "son of Heli" because espoused to Heli's
daughter. The genealogy in Luke is Mary's, whose father, Heli, was
descended from David.

[2] {acceptable}
A comparison with the passage quoted,
# Isa 61:1,2
affords an instance of the exquisite accuracy of Scripture. Jesus
stopped at, "The acceptable year of the Lord," which is connected with
the first advent and the dispensation of grace
# Ge 3:15
» See Note "Ac 1:11"
"the day of vengeance of our God" belongs to the second advent
# De 30:3
and judgment.
