Abstract
This article aims at exploring what the Bible says about the person of St. Joseph. It argues that Joseph is (a) a just man, (b) a “son of David”, (c) the legal father of Jesus, (d) the head his family, (e) a carpenter, and (d) Joseph carried out the will of God as revealed to him. This work shows that St. Joseph listened to God and carried out many things as a result of the divine communications. Although the words spoken to St. Joseph are few, the things he did are numerous. The author exposes some of Joseph’s main roles and actions.Download Full Text

Introduction
The Sacred Scripture, which is the source and soul of any good
theology, sings the praises of St. Joseph, even though it is often
said: “we know nothing about St. Joseph because he did not say
anything.” The Sacred Scripture, especially St. Matthew and St.
Luke, gives us the privilege of know many things about St.
Joseph.
In this article, we will examine some the revelations and
the insights that the Sacred Scriptures give us about the life of
St. Joseph.
