Joseph husband of Mary: working gently at a wooden carpentry bench

Who was Joseph husband of Mary?

Joseph was Mary's husband and helped care for Jesus as he grew up. Matthew describes him responding to God's guidance in dreams. He is a different Joseph from Jacob's son in Genesis.

Joseph took Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt when Herod threatened the child's life. Later the family returned and settled in Nazareth.
