Holy hell. No such distinction is present in any of the versions I've seen. How do you explain that then, if your point is so clear that it's frustrating you? Did every single translator overlook this? Seems unlikely. Improbable. Dare I say, impossible?

Let's get this straight. The versions you read omitted Mary, am I right? They don't mention Mary?

Yes. I stated that a couple of times. No mention of Mary anywhere in that chapter, in fact.

Good, because that's also what I understood you to say. I then went on to say that the text (of Mary's lineage) makes use of the greek article Tou, which is used for all males but joseph. I never said the passage stated mary, but that by omitting the article Tou for Joseph, it made it clear that they were refering to Joseph as the Son in Law.

Get it now? *sobs*
