Bible Question:
Steve Thanks but how do you know this? And why have you referred to Joseph as Jesus' stepfather? |
Bible Answer: Hello DaveW, Commentaries mostly, but it comes out when you read and reread the gospels themselves. I said stepfather because he is Mary's and not Joseph's son. Perhaps adoptive father might have been better. Steve |
