Joseph

And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.

Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.

Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.

But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.

Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.

After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.

And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,

To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.

And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid,)

So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.

And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.

And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,

And Iesus himselfe began to bee about thirtie yeere of age, being as men supposed the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Eli,

Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.

And they said, Is not this Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, whose father and mother wee knowe? howe then sayth he, I came downe from heauen?
