Bible Question: What happen to Joseph after he went out of the Scripture they never ever said where he went after all this birth? did he go back living alone? |
Bible Answer: Obviously, He died. But between the birth of Jesus and Joseph's death, we are given clues as to what happened. First, Joseph and Mary take Jesus to the templ to make Jesus legal under the Law. Also, they take Jesus to egypt to escape Harod's wrath. We have Mary and Jesus' brothers and sisters visiting Jesus during his ministry. Therefore, Joseph and Mary had other children. We have Joseph and Mary taking Jesus to the passover celebration when Jesus is twelve. Joseph and Mary stayed married for at least that long. We have Jesus being called Joesph's son and the son of the carpenter. From that we know that Joseph had a trade and that he adopted Jesus as according to customs. Given that Jesus used carpentry terms in many of his messages, and also that Joseph was a carpenter, we can assume that He taught Jesus to be a carptenter. From Jesus' comments to John the Beloved while on the cross, we can assume that Joseph possibly died before Jesus was crucified. We can support that further from tradition and history. According to tradition, John the Beloved took care of Mary from the time Jesus was crucified until she died. If I remember correctly, Mary died and was buried in Ephesus where John the Beloved was preaching. Also, because Joseph never appears during the three years of Jesus' ministry, it can be safe to assume that Joseph died prior or shortly after Jesus starting his minstry. So, as you can see, we can know quite a bit about Joseph with a little deductive thinking. Jesusman |
