Dave Wrote:The Jerusalem Talmud indicates that Mary was the daughter of Heli (Haggigah, Book 77, 4).
The Talmud also says she raped by a Joseph Pandera among other unsavory things. I think it is more likely they simply took the common Greek tradition that Luqa was the genealogy of Y'shu and incorporated it, just as they did with the Gospels narratives in the Toledot Y'shu.
