'Course you've got the lineage in Matthew 1 and in Luke 3...........

Those are genealogies of Joseph. Was Joseph Jesus's biological father?

Those are genealogies of Joseph. Was Joseph Jesus's biological father?

In Genesis 15 verse 2, Abram lamented the fact that he had no natural son to inherit his estate, and it would fall to his chief servant Eliezar. This passage shows how all the rights and rank of a house can be transferred to a non-blood relative. Also, we read in Genesis chapter 48 that Israel adopted Joseph’s two sons, Ephriam and Manassah. They were now to be considered equal with Joseph’s brothers in inheriting the promises given to Israel and each of them were entitled to an equal portion of the land.

So your question is irrevelant
