Bible Question: Why didn't Joesph act quicker to divorce Mary? Why did he have to think about it (vs 20)?

Bible Answer: Searcher

I think the answer to this question relates directly as to why God chose Joseph to be the human father of Jesus.

Joseph was a good man, a patient man, a man of honor, a just man, a man who respected other people - a man who valued the diginity of man.

Because of this, I believe he was as concerned about Mary (and maybe even more so), as he was about himself - even though there were doubts and concerns in his mind.

Could any lesser of a man be the father of Jesus?
