Joseph was a Nazarene in the first century who, according to the canonical gospels

Joseph was a Nazarene in the first century who, according to the canonical gospels, married Mary, the mother of Jesus. He is the rightful father of Jesus. The gospels also mention some brothers of Jesus, who may also have been sons of Joseph. The Gospel of James, a pseudo-work from the late 2nd century, sees these as the sons of Joseph’s early marriages. This position still exists in The Eastern Orthodox Church, but the Western church insists on Jerome’s argument that Joseph and Mary must be lifelong virgins and that the “brothers” must be his Cousins. In the theological interpretation of the gospels, Joseph as a historical figure is different. After all, Joseph was very good to Jesus. There are many statues of Joseph holding Jesus which are very popular among people. You can take a look at our bronze St Joseph art statue.

Most Christians believe that Joseph is a real father, except physically

Most of the descriptions of Joseph in the Bible come from the so-called baby narratives in Matthew and Luke, which describe the birth and childhood of Jesus. According to the Gospels, Mary, a virgin unmarried with Joseph, conceived Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit – so Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God. However, most Christians believe that Joseph is a real father, except physically, because Joseph is the legitimate father who raised Jesus. In fact, it is incorrect to interpret their “engagement” as a modern “engagement”. Jewish customs in that period included two stages of marriage: first, the legal marriage contract, and then the party where the husband took his wife home. This is reflected in the Gospels: Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant before she lived with him, so he planned to divorce her. But an angel instructed him not to do so, but to take his wife home. Therefore, Joseph was Mary’s lawful husband when Jesus became pregnant. Some Christians believe that Mary and Joseph had several children together after Jesus was born. The Gospels refer to Jesus’ brothers and sisters. However, Catholics and Orthodox Christians believe that these scriptures refer to other relatives rather than actual brothers and sisters. Jesus taught the child that it was his duty to support his parents, but on his deathbed, he entrusted Mary to his apostle John, not to his brothers and sisters… Aongking has more other Saint statues.
