Lesser Known facts about Joseph and Mary



It’s no wonder that God chose Joseph and Mary to be the earthly parents of his son. Yet when one steps into their shoes its clear how they would have felt. Below are some of the lesser-known facts about Joseph and Mary.

Jesus studied from God Fearing Parents.

Jesus was taught the art of carpentry at a very young age,

When the Jesus forgave the women caught in Adultery John 7:53-8:11 he was just merely doing what his earthly father had done when he was in his mother’s womb.
Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. - Matthew 1:19
For the punishment handed by God for such offence was death by stoning (Leviticus 20:10)

According to Luke 2:24 it is clear that Joseph was  a poor man and later when he was asked to go to Egypt by the angel (Matthew 2:13) the money brought by the wise men from the east helped finance his trip.
