活動時期西元前1世紀～西元1世紀 《新約》裏記載的瑪利亞的丈夫和耶穌基督的世俗父親。他是大衛的後裔，是拿撒勒的一個木匠。他與瑪利亞訂了婚，當他發現瑪利亞已經懷孕時，有位天使來到他的面前告訴他說，未來的孩子是上帝的兒子。他和瑪利亞一起去到伯利恆，羅馬的人口普查把他們統計在內。他們在那裏時，孩子降生了。〈路加福音〉裏最後一次提到約瑟，是在他和瑪利亞帶着十二歲的耶穌去耶路撒冷的時候。 padding-bottom: 47.34%;">In the New Testament, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. Descended from the house of David, he was a carpenter in Nazareth. He was betrothed to Mary, and when he found her already pregnant an angel appeared to him in a vision and told him the expected child was the son of God. He and Mary journeyed to Bethlehem to be counted in the Roman census, and while they were there the child was born. The last mention of Joseph occurs in the Gospel of Luke when he and Mary take the 12-year-old Jesus to Jerusalem.
