Bible Question: So, the Bible states Jesus had brothers and sisters. If Joseph is not mentioned after Jesus' trip to Jerusalem when he was 12 years old, do we assume he died and left Mary to raise the family alone, or do we just not question it? I just have one of those "inquiring" minds. Thank you for your answer, Jeff. |
Bible Answer: Kit...- is it ok to call you Kit or would you rather the whole username?? Inquiring minds.... yes, yes, yes.... me too. Some do "assume" that Joseph may have deceased since Mary is mentioned several times after and he is not. But in the abscense of documentation, assumption is all we're left with. I'm not aware of any secular records that mention the time and manner of Jospeh's death (though some of the more scholarly here might be). Jeff |
