Joseph, Husband of Mary

Joseph, Husband of Mary is Mary’s husband, first named as betrothed to her, and Luke says Jesus was regarded as his son (Luke 1:27; Luke 3:23). Joseph is named in at least 14 verses across Matthew, Luke, and John. Matthew calls him a just man who planned to release Mary quietly; an angel then told him in a dream to take Mary as his wife, and Joseph did so (Matthew 1:19; Matthew 1:20; Matthew 1:24). Another dream instructed him to take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt (Matthew 2:13).
