Joseph's death is not mentioned in the New Testament. However, given that he is not mentioned in any of the Gospels after the birth narrative tends to suggest that he died while Jesus was relatively young, but there's no way of knowing.

Was Joseph's father the same Jacob as in Genesis?

AnswerFirst of all, the Jacob in Genesis was certainly the father of the Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, the father of Jesus, came many centuries later than the events and people depicted in the Book of Genesis. Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel clearly says that Joseph's father was called Heli, its author apparently not having identified the possibilities developed by the author of Matthew.


Who was Joseph's great grandfather?

Joseph the Dreamer's great grandfather is Abraham. Joseph's (adoptive father of Jesus) great grandfather (ancestor) also includes Abraham.


What was the life span during the New Testament times?

As illustrated in the story of Superman and the Gospels, men left home when their fathers died. One potential disciple of Jesus actually told him that he would follow Jesus after his father died i.e. "... permit me first to bury my father." In Luke 12:52, Jesus does not mention the grandfather as part of the family members that reside under the same roof; it is father, mother, son, daughter, and father's mother. Alfred Edersheim makes the case that Jesus' baptism was in A.D. 26 making Jesus 30 years old when his public ministry began and traditionally soon after Joseph died. This places the death of Joseph at age 46 to 56 years. This made it unlikely that the average man in New Testament times would see his grandchildren. If Joseph were average, he would not have seen his grandchildren either and this age range would be typical for Joseph's male contemporaries.
