He had several brothers. But I’ve always thought it strange that Joseph just seems to disappears after Jesus is born. Other than being a witness that an angel visited him be apparently wasn’t a big part of the story.

The problem is that all we actually know is what the bible says, which is very little to nothing at all, which causes people to speculate. The only thing more fascinating than what the bible says, is what it doesn’t say.

On the other hand, it’s just one very small collection of books and letters, and yet still says so much.

But I’ve always thought it strange that Joseph just seems to disappears after Jesus is born.

Luke 2:41:

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

Joseph was around when Jesus was growing up. Perhaps he died sometime after Jesus reached adulthood.
