Bible Question: Was Mary and Joseph rich like some people say. At that time, they say carpenter very rich so he lived in Nazareth. But weren't they poor and Nazareth was a small village |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the forum Kan! Nazareth at the time was a very poor place, and some have called it a garbage dump. I can see no Biblical evidence that Mary and Joseph were rich in terms of worldy goods. They must have been spiritual mature and closer to the Holy Father than any other humans or the Father would not have allowed them to raise His Son, Jesus Christ. However it may be true that the average person person then was not as well off as our poorest persons now. Gives much to think about! Blessings. Justme |
