What happened to Joseph, the husband of Mary?

Joseph, the husband of Mary, is believed to have died before Jesus began his public ministry. The Bible does not provide specific details about Joseph's death.


How and when did the husband of Mary mother of Jesus die?

Nobody really knows. It is not mentioned in the Bible, but one tradition is that he died before Jesus began His ministry. The tradition is that Joseph had Jesus and Mary with him when he died. This is why Joseph is the patron saint of a happy death (who better to have with you at death than the Mother of God and God himself?!).

What happened to Joseph the husband of the Virgin Mary?

After the finding of Jesus in the temple at the age of 12, there is no further mention of him in scriptures. It is then to be assumed that he passed away sometime after that and before Christ began his public ministry.


Why was Joseph the father of Jesus?

It's not known what happened to Joseph. He is present at the Temple when Jesus astounded the scholars in Luke 2:41-52, but since Mary is described at the crucifixion and the post-ascension scene in Acts 1 by herself, it's thought he had died somewhere between. It's unlikely he would fall away after seeing and experience similar things that Mary had. Jude and James talked about in 1 Cor. 15 and Galatians 2 as being the "brothers of the Lord," are thought to be His half-brothers, by a second husband after Joseph. That would put Joseph's death somewhere between A.D. 11-29.


What happened to Mary and Joseph after the ascencion Jesus?

According some sources, Joseph had yet died. Mary continued to worship and participate in the first kehilah (congregation) with her sons Jacob, Jude, Joseph and Shimon, as its written in Acts.


When did Joseph Mary's husband die?

We simply don't know. We know that when Jesus was 12 years of age, both Mary and Joseph took him to the temple in Jerusalem, as recorded in the gospels. So Joseph was alive then. However, by the time he started his ministry at the age of around 30, Joseph is not mentioned at all,(except for a brief mention when the synagogue officials in Nazareth exclaim 'isn't this the carpenter's son?), nor does he appear in the accounts in which Mary appears (like the wedding at Cana and the crucifixion), so we can assume that by then Joseph is no longer around. This is not particularly helpful as he could have died any time in the 18 years or so between these times. This reflects the importance, or lack of it, that the gospel writers placed on Joseph as they regarded him as Mary's husband rather than Jesus' father - whom thy regarded, of course, as God.


How did Joseph father of Jesus die?

The New Testament records that Joseph was not the physical father of Jesus, although he acted effectively as a step-father. We do not have any record of how or when Joseph died. It is evident from Jesus' words on the cross that Joseph had died by that time since Jesus handed over the care and welfare of His mother Mary to the beloved disciple John.


Was St. Joseph a disciple?

If you are referring to St. Joseph the foster father of Jesus, he was not a disciple as he died long before Our Lord began his public life. If you refer to Saint Joseph of Arimathea, he was a disciple but a secret one initially.


Where is Joseph when Jesus was crucified?

The NT makes no mention of Mary's husband Joseph beyond Matthew 2, Luke 4 and John 6, and some of those mentions are in retrospect. The common (and reasonable) assumption is that Joseph had died by the time of the crucifixion.
