Hey Steve: But we do know they got married, correct? I don't know why this seems important to me but when I read the scripture it just stuck out at me like a sore thumb. Thanks for answering my (be it some what stupid) question. Aileen | ||||||

Hi Aileen, Scripture tends not to dwell on the ordinary course of lives. That is why so much attention is given to the miraculous circumstances of Jesus' birth bu not the mundane things concerning their marriage or early family life. Had they not been married, this would have been scandalous and greatly inhibited the Lord's later ministry. As it was the ruling Jews tried to make an issue of the virgin birth in John 8:41 with a partially veiled insult. [Jesus said,] "You are doing the works your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God." Then in verse 48 that add to it: The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?" They were insinuating that his mother had an affair with a Samaritan or Gentile, and Joseph married her possibly out of pity. Had any of this been true, the whole ministry would have been in question because Jesus was claiming God as his father. Steve |
