Best Answer

A:

The author of Luke's Gospel says that an angel appeared to Mary, but not to Joseph. The author of Matthew's Gospel says that an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, but not to Mary. In spite of the second-century attribution, both authors were actually anonymous, and Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that both nativity accounts are, with respect to time, place, and circumstances, a collection of legends.
