NASB | Matthew 1:19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 1:19 And Joseph her [promised] husband, being a just and righteous man and not wanting to expose her publicly to shame, planned to send her away and divorce her quietly. |
Subject: What became of Joseph? |
Bible Note: toninj, there is no evidence or even suggestion in the Bible that Joseph ever divorced Mary. The fault lies, with apologies to the questioner, in a poorly constructed question. The explanation sought by the question was why did Joseph not divorce his betrothed immediately upon learning of her pregnancy. --Hank |
