Joseph and Mary were betrothed to each other. Joseph had to go to Bethlehem to be registered because he was an ancestor of King David. Mary, who was with child went with him. Joseph was the step father of Jesus and God had ordained that Joseph and Mary raise Jesus after His birth. They became a family and Joseph was the father figure.
The angel appeared to Joseph in the Bible before the birth of Jesus.
Yes, according to religious texts, angels such as Gabriel came to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus. An angel also appeared to Joseph to reassure him about Mary's pregnancy, and another angel visited Zachariah to announce the birth of John the Baptist.
The angel was Gabriel the Archangel.
----------------------- 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.
The angel told Joseph that Jesus would save people from their sins.
------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.
Jesus is Joseph's Son. An angel appeared to Mary and Joseph in a dream and said that they will have a child. They were to name Him Jesus.
The angel that appeared to the shepherds in the biblical story of the birth of Jesus is known as the Angel of the Lord.
The angel Gabriel appeared to Joseph in a dream to tell him about Mary's pregnancy.
An angel of the Lord. Mat 1:20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Mat 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."
The day is known as the Annunciation. It is a Christian feast day that commemorates the angel Gabriel's visit to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God.
Here Jesus was not warned to flee, but the angel warned Joseph in a dream.
