The genealogy in Matthew goes back to Abraham and in Luke it goes back to Adam. Matthew's (Joseph's line), shows Christ to be legal heir to the promises given to Abraham and David. Luke's (Mary's line), shows Christ's blood descent. Mary's genealogy is in keeping with Jewish usage, so it is in her husbands name. Joseph was the son of Heli, that is the son-in-law of Heli.
