Why Joseph's Genealology?

woman, over-shadowed by the Holy Spirit. No man was involved. Through
a little virgin who had known a man. (A sign prophesied from the OT.)

You don't find Jechonias in Mary's line. His bloodline was cut off. (I have
wondered if this Nathan could possibly be the prophet Nathan who told King
David, "thou art the man". If David had a son (Solomon) who was a king,
could he not have a son who was a prophet!

Just some thoughts.

Yes, I understand that, but it doesn't make sense to me, maybe I'm just dense today, but why would Joseph's line be given since he had nothing to do with the birth?
