Read the words. I went back and looked at different translations. They all unambiguously agree (through wording) that it's a chain of sons to fathers. There is absolutely no mention of Mary in Luke's passage. Having read the bible, I also noticed that the females are never chronicled. So why would Mary all of a sudden become important in a culture like that?

Read bold. (Edit: sorry, I missed bolding the last item, important in answering your question)

At italicized: read my bold.

Now you're starting to piss me right off. There is no mention of Mary, but she is suddenly very important in this context because:

1) She gave birth to a child as a virgin. That becomes extremely important in giving lineage.

2) She is part of a non-cursed lineage (as I had bolded), of which the messiah had to descend in order to hold the throne forever.
