Joseph

Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.

Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this; for after his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Miriam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Miriam.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

They came with haste, and found both Miriam and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,

and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,

Yeshua himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Eli,

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the Torah, and the Prophets, wrote: Yeshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

They said, “Isn’t this Yeshua, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”
