Best Answer

According to Christian belief, God was the father of Jesus. That is why Jesus is referred to as the "Son of God." Thus, he is not the son of St. Joseph, who kindly accepted God's plan and understood that his wife Mary would become pregnant miraculously. While they did not have adoption back then, St. Joseph was very much like an adoptive father to the infant Jesus.

What are some admirable qualities of St. Joseph?

According to Christianity, nothing much is said regarding Joseph the adoptive father of Jesus of Nazareth.

So Joseph would have to be a pretty good person to undertake his place in Christian tenet.

Was Jesus born before or after Joseph was king?

AnswerThere never was a King Joseph among the Jews. You may be thinking about the legendary patriarch, Joseph with the "coat of many colours" who, according to the Bible, was taken to Egypt and rose to high office. Although credited with high office, he was never said to be king (or pharaoh) of Egypt.The time attributed to this Joseph was around 1900 years before the time of Jesus.Another Joseph was the father of Jesus, but he was a village carpenter, not a king.
