Was the gospel of Matthew even written by Matthew? The gospel doesn't say.

But Mary seems confused. She gave birth as a virgin (supposedly) yet she was shocked when at 12 yrs old Jesus was teaching in the temple, and she thought at one point that he was out of his mind. Did she forget that she was a virgin visited by the Spirit?
No wonder, then, that Matthew and Luke don't agree on Jesus' genealogy. And if she was a virgin inseminated by God why does the genealogy come down to Joseph. He made no contribution to Jesus, so no biological linage at all to king David.
Maybe I should stop reading the Bible. It's confusing.
