  The real father of Joseph was Jacob (Mat. 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 Savior 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.'

VERSE 36 
 - Cainan.
  This Cainan is not found in the Hebrew text of any of the
  genealogies, but only in the Septuagint; from which, probably,
  the evangelist transcribed the register, as sufficiently exact
  for his purpose, and as more generally suited to command
  attention.  (See on Ge. 11:12.)  It may here be remarked, that
  though some of the same names occur here, from Nathan
  downwards, as in Joseph's genealogy, yet there appears no
  sufficient evidence that the same persons were intended,
  different persons often bearing the same name.
