[Luke 2:33 KJV] "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him."
[Luke 2:33 NIV] "The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him."
The new Bibles make Joseph the biological father of Jesus, which has a major implication.
[Jeremiah 22:30 KJV] "Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah." ********* A curse was placed on Coniah, by which, none of his descendants would sit on David's throne.
[Matthew 1:11 KJV] "And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:" ********* Jechonias is also called Jeconiah, who is also called Coniah. In Joseph's genealogy, as recorded in Matthew, Coniah is in his lineage. Christ is a descendant of Coniah thru Joseph. If Jesus was a descendant of Joseph, he would also be a descendant of Coniah, and would not be able to sit on David's throne as prophesized.
