Joseph was a good man and he did not want to cause Mary any embarrasment so he had planed to call off the marriage quietly. But an angel of the Lord came to him and told him to stay with Mary, which he did. From the book of Matthew, chapter 1, starting with verse 19 in the King James Version it says; 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
In Jewish law, an engagement was binding. If either was discovered to have been unfathful even though they were not yet married, it was law to terminate the engagement. Joseph assumed Mary had been, since she was pregnant, but was not going to publicly disgrace her.
An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt to escape King Herod's plan to kill all young male children. This warning alerted Joseph to the danger facing baby Jesus.
In Jesus' day, an 'engagement' was the same as a marriage, commitment-wise. If a couple was engaged to be married, they were officially committed to each other as husband and wife, and breaking the engagement was called a 'divorce'. The only thing they couldn't do while engaged,was have sexual relations, until after the actual marriage ceremony. So when Joseph discovered that Mary was pregnant, knowing that HE was not the father, he had the 'normal' reaction that anyone would have. He considered 'divorcing' her, but because he was a loving and kind man, he was going to do it secretly, so Mary would not suffer the shame that would follow. (Matthew 1:18-25)
No. Mary and Joseph were engaged before it was revealed to Mary that God had chosen her to bear His Son.
Matthew 1:18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:26-28, 31 - Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" (31) And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. [NKJV]
A:
In Luke's Gospel, there was clearl neverany danger to Jesus. Shortly after Jesus was born, the young family travelled to Jerusalem, where any danger would have been at its greatest, openly presented Jesus at the Temple, then travelled peacefully back to their home in Nazareth.
It is in Matthew's Gospel that Jesus was in danger. In this Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Joseph, but Jesus was certainly less than two years old when danger arose. Joseph was warned in a dream of the impending danger, so fled with Mary and Jesus to the safety of Egypt. Some years later, after the death of King Herod, he began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem, but was again warned of further danger in a dream, so turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth.
Mary did not lose Jesus in the sense of misplacing him. However, there is a story in the Bible where Mary and Joseph temporarily lost track of Jesus when he stayed behind in Jerusalem to discuss matters with religious leaders.
It is traditionally believed that Mary outlived Joseph. After Joseph's last mention in the Bible when Jesus is twelve years old, there is no further record of him, while Mary is present at significant events in Jesus's life up to his crucifixion.
No. The Joseph that was sold into slavery in Egypt was a son of Jacob in the Old Testament. The Joseph who married Mary, the mother of Jesus was born just prior to the New Testament era. We know very little of him, except he believed in God.
St. Joseph is believed to have lived during the 1st century AD. The exact dates of his life are not known, but he is commonly associated with the time period when Jesus Christ was born.
The shepherds believed the angels' message because they immediately went to Bethlehem to see the newborn baby, Jesus, for themselves. Their actions demonstrated that they trusted the message they had received from the angels.
Joseph is a figure in the Gospels, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus. Jesus although God, was born and lived a fully human existence (in him God came to us and fully shared our lives). Therefor Joseph acted as a human father to Jesus and brought him up as any father would a baby, teaching him how to be a man.
Joseph was given a vision from God of who Jesus is, our savior, when Mary was still carrying Christ in her womb. Only God and Joseph know all of Joseph's feelings.
Joseph, Mary's husband
Jesus,Mary and Joseph as far as i know
I don't know. Why don't you go and ask Jesus.
Dismas and Gestas were the thieves Mary and Joseph encountered on the way to Bethlahem. Dismas was also one of the thieves crucified with Jesus, the one who was forgiven by Jesus.
No!! Joseph Smith is not more important than JESUS!! Who did Joseph Smith save?? What miracles did Joseph Smith perform to help others?? Did Joseph Smith believe that all races were equal and created to help and love one another and not believe that certain races were evil? No I know Joseph Smith was and will never be more important than JESUS our Lord and savior...
i don't personally know but in the time of "Jesus", Jesus meant Joseph so there could be many people known as "Jesus"
Jesus's father was known to be God but god impregnated Mary to give birth to Jesus and Joseph was kind of like his 'stepdad' if you now what I mean as they weren't actually related but he cared for Jesus. So essentially, God Mary ( also known as mother mary and virgin mary) Joseph were his family as far as I know........ Hope that helps
----------------------- In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph knows this because an angel appeared to him in a dream and told him about Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph knows this because Mary told him that an angel had appeared to her and told her about Jesus.
Mary did not lose Jesus in the sense of misplacing him. However, there is a story in the Bible where Mary and Joseph temporarily lost track of Jesus when he stayed behind in Jerusalem to discuss matters with religious leaders.
