Even though Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus, his role as Jesus' earthly father is recognised in this genealogy, illustrating the concept of legal inheritance and adoption.</ref><ref>The theme of adoption into the family of Christ is beautifully expanded in several other scriptures: [[Romans 8:14]], [[Romans 8:15|15]], [[Romans 8:16|16]], [[Romans 8:17|17]]; [[Ephesians 1:4]], [[Ephesians 1:5|5]]; [[Galatians 4:4]], [[Galatians 4:5|5]], [[Galatians 4:6|6]], [[Galatians 4:7|7]]; [[John 1:12]],[[John 1:13|13]]</ref><ref>King James Version (KJV)</ref> | ||
