In Luke's Gospel, shortly after the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary went to the Temple for Mary's purification, then travelled straight back to Nazareth in Galilee.
Nazereth
Joseph and Mary recognized Jesus in the temple.
If you ask as a child then the answer is, Joseph was from Nazareth, and the prophesy was to be fulfilled. He was a Nazarene.
It took Mary and Joseph a total of three days to locate Jesus in the temple.
no one truly knows, yet many theologians claim that Joseph died before Jesus fulfilled the task God had placed on him.
The bible does not mention him , after the time Jesus gets lost in the temple, Why the obsession with Joseph? Joseph was a spiritual man. else he would have been completely cut out of the picture.
When Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus form the dedication at the temple ,beside his parents Simon the priest and Anna the old prophetess was there .
Jesus was not lost. When his parents were finished with their dealings in the city, they left with a large entourage, and assumed that Jesus was somewhere in the group. Jesus made His way to the Temple to teach what He knew. It was several days later that Mary and Joseph found Him at the temple expounding scriptures and teaching the elders. Jesus knew He was about His fathers' business. Not Joseph, but the business of God, His father.
After Jesus was 12 years, he got lost in the temple for three days.
Neither Mary or Joseph took any pigeons to the temple.
He Said the Temple was His Father's House. He Is the Son Of God.
They were king david and king Solomon who finished the temple.
The old man in the temple who at once recognized that the baby of Joseph and Mary was the Messiah, he also told Mary that a sword would Pearce your heart because of him. He also said now let your servant depart in peace. He was about 80 years old but he was sure it was the Messiah the people had waited for centuries to come.
