Bible Question: Had Joesph already adopted Jesus ... or is being His father mean something else? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Steve, The NASB Study Bible text note says, "Luke, aware of the virgin birth of Jesus (1:26-35), is referring to Joseph as Jesus' legal father." And Jesus was brought up in the household of Mary and Joseph while the people only knew Jesus as the son of Joseph (Matthew 13:55). But they would find out His true lineage later (John 3:16).
