Bible Question (short): Ages of Mary and Joseph when married? |
Question (full): In studying the Bible I am wondering about the ages of Mary and Joseph. I have heard two different things on this subject. The first was from a minister that I know who only stated that the Bible indicated that Mary was a very young girl and that Joseph was an old man. The second was some more exact age's. This is that Mother Mary was 13 and that Joseph was about 90 years of age. Is there any basis in Jewish or Christian theology for these figures and are there any specific Bible verses that would show/indicate this? I myself believe that these would be very plausible because of the time period where something like this would have been common compared to today. I thank you for the time you take to answer this question. |
