Saint Joseph in Wikipedia

Saint Joseph (Hebrew יוֹסֵף, also known as Joseph of the House of David, Joseph the Betrothed, or Joseph the Worker) is, according to the New Testament, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus.[Mt. 1:16 ] Although according to Christian tradition he was not the biological father of Jesus, he acted as his foster-father[1][2][3] and as head of the Holy Family. According to Christian tradition, Jesus was referred to as the son of Joseph during his public life,[4] though in Mark he is referred to as Mary's son (Mark 6:3).[5] Joseph is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran churches. Matthew and Luke each have a genealogy that traces Joseph's lineage back to King David. Matthew says that Joseph's father was called Jacob,[Mt. 1:16 ] but Luke says he was a son of Heli.[Lk. 3:23 ] All that is known from them is that Joseph lived at times in Nazareth in Galilee, before Jesus' birth[Luke 2:4 ] on return from exile in Egypt after Herod's death,[Mt. 2:23 ] [Lk. 2:39 ] after the Passover visit to Jerusalem when Jesus was 12 years old, [2:51 ] stayed for a couple of years in Bethlehem in Judea,[2:4 ] [Mt. 2:1-14 ] and was forced into exile for a time in Egypt.[2:14-22 ] In Matthew, Joseph lives in Bethlehem, the city of David, until he moves to Nazareth. In Luke, Joseph lives in Nazareth, but Jesus is born while his parents are temporarily in Bethlehem...
