Syriac Version of Mathew Proves Joseph was the Father

~
An ancient Syriac version of Mathew from the Sinaitic gospels, which happens to be the “oldest” existing complete copy of the New Testament, clearly states Joseph begat Yeshua. Here is the source: A Translation of the Four Gospels from the Syriac of the Sinaitic Palimpsest, by Agnes Smith Lewis, Cambridge, at the University Press, 1894 http://books.google.com/books?id=kyEPAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA292&lpg=PA292&dq=agnes+smith+lewis+the+four+gospels+in+syriac&source=web&ots=HGPCHlQ4ik&sig=_QkPl88iIVIwxaXTna9lVPR7bvM&hl=en

St. Matt, i 16

"Jacob begat Joseph: Joseph, to whom was betrothed Mary the Virgin, begat Jesus, who is called the Christ... 25 When Joseph arose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took his wife: and she bore to him a son, and he called his name Jesus. "

Even if the proper translation is "Mary the virgin", it still does not prove that a literal virgin was intended. If one marries a virgin and she conceives after the first act of sexual union, it can legitimately be stated that a virgin conceived. Of course, AFTER the union she would no longer be a virgin.
