Matthew 1: 18-25 Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son 18This

is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. (Ref. Deut. 22:13-21) 20

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Matthew 1: 22-24 22All

this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). 24When

Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

The gospel of Matthew serves as a reference to the familial line of Jesus which was very important to Jewish Christians reconciling Jesus as a the Messiah Jesus is identified as both human and divine. The relationships between Mary, Joseph, God and their community come to the forefront of the story and present various challenges for the audience of this narrative.
