What is the story of birth of Jesus in Joseph's perspective?
Joseph was a carpenter in Nazareth, engaged to Mary. When Mary became pregnant with Jesus through the Holy Spirit, Joseph initially planned to divorce her quietly. However, an angel appeared to him in a dream, explaining the divine nature of Jesus' conception and instructing Joseph to take Mary as his wife. Joseph obeyed, fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus's birth in Bethlehem.

Does the New Testament include stories about Jesus's childhood?
AnswerThe Gospels of Matthew and Luke contain two different versions of the story of the birth of Jesus and his infancy. Luke contains a story of the boy Jesus in the Temple, confounding the doctors of the Temple with his understanding. The Temple story closely parallels a story that the Jeiwsh historian, Josephus, wrote about himself, but may simply have been a common exaggeration told by many first century Jewish parents.
When did Jesus cause his parents conncern?
In Luke 2:41-50 is the story of Jesus at the age of twelve remaining in Jerusalem at the temple. Jesus was not disobedient to his parents. The story tells us that His parents thought Jesus to be in the company of others as they traveled back to Nazareth. At the evening's end, His parents could not find Him anywhere in the company of people they were traveling with, so they returned to Jerusalem to find Him, and they did indeed find Him in the temple. Jesus was not a disobedient Son.
How many people were in the temple when Joseph and Mary took the infant Jesus?
The bible says there were four people counting Mary and Joseph, the other two were Simeon and Anna. But we have to remember that the account of Jesus being at the temple only mentions Mary, Joseph, Simeon and Anna because they form part of the story. The Temple at Jerusalem was a vast building including extensive courtyards and outdoor areas, and was regarded as THE meeting place for all Jews - a sort of vast community centre - as well as a place of worship. Therefore, the whole Temple would have had hundreds of priests, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and ordinary people milling about all over as well as our cameo group that were the subject of the account we read about in the Bible.
What appears in Luke that does not appear in Matthew or Mark?
The authors of both Matthew and Luke relied on Mark and 'Q' as their main source documents, but both authors then elaborated the Marcan material and added material of their own or from otherwise unknown sources.Material that is unique to Luke includes the birth of John the Baptist and his supposed relationship to Jesus; the entire nativity story of Jesus (the nativity story in Matthew is entirely different and incompatible); the genealogy of Jesus back through Joseph (again, Matthew has a genealogy of Jesus back through Joseph, but it is entirely different and incompatible); the story of Jesus in the temple at the age of twelve; the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan are parables unique to Luke; the story of Mary, Martha and Lazarus (the story in John is entirely different to the parable in Luke); Jesus telling the disciples to cast their nets on the other side, and they caught many fish (this story is in John, but not until after the resurrection of Jesus); the ascension of Jesus to heaven is not in Matthew nor the earliest manuscripts of Mark, but a somewhat similar story is in the "Long ending"* to Mark.Footnote*The Long Ending does not exist in the earliest manuscripts of Mark's Gospel, but was added much later, to more or less harmonise Mark with Matthew and Luke. There was also, at one stage, a "Short Ending".
Did Matthew relate that Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem?
Yes. Matthew says that Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph, and that Jesus was born there. Luke also says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but in this story, Nazareth is the home town of Mary and Joseph.

Who are Joseph and Mary?
Joseph and Mary are known as the earthly parents of Jesus in Christian tradition. Joseph is described as a carpenter or craftsman, while Mary is revered as the mother of Jesus who conceived him through the Holy Spirit. Both figures play central roles in the nativity story and are considered important figures in Christianity.
How did St. Joseph die?
We do not know how he died but it was probably from complications of old age. He was already advanced in age when he took Mary as his wife. We also do not know when he died but it was probably before Jesus began his public ministry about the year 30 A.D. There is no mention of Joseph in the Bible after the story of losing Jesus in the Temple when the family made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He is considered the patron saint of a happy death and also of fathers by the Catholic Church.
How long before Mary and Joseph returned to Nazareth from Bethlehem?
This is a reference to the Nativity story in Luke's Gospel, since in Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph lived in Bethlehem and had probably never been to Nazareth. Luke 2:22 says that when the days of purification for Mary were completed, after the birth of Jesus, they took Jesus to Jerusalem to present him at the Temple, then 2:39 says that when they had accomplished these things they returned home to Nazareth. They would probably have begun their journey forty days after the birth of Jesus.
