‘According to Levirate law Joseph must have been very young since males had to marry within 18 years of age.’  Maria di Nazareth, Discovery History 2017 

 

 

9) And Joseph, throwing away his axe, went out to meet them; and when they had assembled, they went away to the high priest, taking with them their rods.  And he, taking the rods of all of them, entered into the temple, and prayed; and having ended his prayer, he took the rods and came out, and gave them to them: but there was no sign in them, and Joseph took his rod last; and, behold, a dove came out of the rod, and flew upon Josephs head.  And the priest said to Joseph, Thou hast been chosen by lot to take into thy keeping the virgin of the Lord.  But Joseph refused, saying: I have children, and I am an old man, and she is a young girl.  I am afraid lest I become a laughing-stock to the sons of Israel.  And the priest said to Joseph: Fear the Lord thy God, and remember what the Lord did to Dathan, and Abiram, and Korah; how the earth opened, and they were swallowed up on account of their contradiction.  And now fear, O Joseph, lest the same things happen in thy house.  And Joseph was afraid, and took her into his keeping.  And Joseph said to Mary: Behold, I have received thee from the temple of the Lord; and now I leave thee in my house, and go away to build my buildings, and I shall come to thee.  The Lord will protect thee.  Infancy Gospel of James 9

 

 

2) This child Jesus, when five years old, was playing in the ford of a mountain stream; and He collected the flowing waters into pools, and made them clear immediately, and by a word alone He made them obey Him.  And having made some soft clay, He fashioned out of it twelve sparrows.  And it was the Sabbath when He did these things.  And there were also many other children playing with Him.  And a certain Jew, seeing what Jesus was doing, playing on the Sabbath, went off immediately, and said to his father Joseph: Behold, thy son is at the stream, and has taken clay, and made of it twelve birds, and has profaned the Sabbath.  And Joseph, coming to the place and seeing, cried out to Him, saying: Wherefore doest thou on the Sabbath what it is not lawful to do?  And Jesus clapped His hands, and cried out to the sparrows, and said to them: Off you go!  And the sparrows flew, and went off crying.  And the Jews seeing this were amazed, and went away and reported to their chief men what they had seen Jesus doing.  Infancy Gospel of Thomas 2

 

3) And the son of Annas the scribe was standing there with Joseph; and he took a willow branch, and let out the waters which Jesus had collected.  And Jesus, seeing what was done, was angry, and said to him: O wicked, impious, and foolish!  What harm did the pools and the waters do to thee?  Behold, even now thou shalt be dried up like a tree, and thou shalt not bring forth either leaves, or root, or fruit.  And straightway that boy was quite dried up.  And Jesus departed, and went to Joseph’s house.  But the parents of the boy that had been dried up took him up, bewailing his youth, and brought him to Joseph, and reproached him because, said they, thou hast such a child doing such things.  ibid.  3

 

4) After that He was again passing through the village; and a boy ran up against Him, and struck His shoulder.  And Jesus was angry, and said to him: Thou shalt not go back the way thou camest.  And immediately he fell down dead.  And some who saw what had taken place, said: Whence was this child begotten, that every word of his is certainly accomplished?  And the parents of the dead boy went away to Joseph, and blamed him, saying: Since thou hast such a child, it is impossible for thee to live with us in the village; or else teach him to bless, and not to curse: for he is killing our children.  ibid.  4

 

12) And again in seed-time the child went out with His father to sow corn in their land.  And while His father was sowing, the child Jesus also sowed one gain of corn.  And when He had reaped it, and threshed it, He made a hundred kors;

 

13) And calling all the poor of the village to the threshing-floor, He gave them the corn, and Joseph took away what was left of the corn.  And He was eight years old when He did this miracle.

 

And His father was a carpenter, and at that time made ploughs and yokes.  And a certain rich man ordered him to make him a couch.  And one of what is called the cross pieces being too short, they did not know what to do.  The child Jesus said to His father Joseph: Put down the two pieces of wood, and make them even in the middle.  And Joseph did as the child said to him.  And Jesus stood at the other end, and took hold of the shorter piece of wood, and stretched it, and made it equal to the other.  And His father Joseph saw it, and wondered, and embraced the child, and blessed Him, saying: Blessed am I, because God has given me this child.

 

14) And Joseph, seeing that the child was vigorous in mind and body, again resolved that He should not remain ignorant of the letters, and took Him away, and handed Him over to another teacher.  And the teacher said to Joseph: I shall first teach him the Greek letters, and then the Hebrew.  For the teacher was aware of the trial that had been made of the child, and was afraid of Him.  Nevertheless he wrote out the alphabet, and gave Him all his attention for a long time, and He made him no answer.  And Jesus said to him: If thou art really a teacher, and art well acquainted with the letters, tell me the power of the Alpha, and I will tell thee the power of the Beta.  And the teacher was enraged at this, and struck Him on the head.  And the child, being in pain, cursed him; and immediately he swooned away, and fell to the ground on his face.  And the child returned to Joseph’s house; and Joseph was grieved, and gave orders to His mother, saying: Do not let him go outside of the door, because those that make him angry die. ibid.  12-14

 

16) And Joseph sent his son James to tie up wood and bring it home, and the child Jesus also followed him.  And when James was gathering the fagots, a viper bit James’ hand.  And when he was racked with pain, and at the point of death, Jesus came near and blew upon the bite; and the pain ceased directly, and the beast burst, and instantly James remained safe and sound.  ibid.  16  

 

17) And after this the infant of one of Joseph’s neighbours fell sick and died, and its mother wept sore.  And Jesus heard that there was great lamentation and commotion, and ran in haste, and found the child dead, and touched his breast, and said: I say to thee, child, be not dead, but live, and be with thy mother.  And directly it looked up and laughed.  And He said to the woman: Take it, and give it milk, and remember me.  And seeing this, the crowd that was standing by wondered, and said: Truly this child was either God or an angel of God, for every word of his is a certain fact.  And Jesus went out thence, playing with the other children.  ibid.  17

 

 

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

 

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

 

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

 

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.  Matthew 1:18-21

 

 

And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

 

When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:  Matthew 2:13&14

 

 

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

 

Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young childs life.

 

And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.  Matthew 2:19-21 

 

 

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

 

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.  Luke 2:4&5 

 

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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.  Luke 2:42-46
