The name of Joseph is found almost exclusively in the genealogies and the infancy narratives.

He is the unsung and unseen dynamic in the infancy narratives.

Matthew gives no hint of such behaviour anywhere in his infancy narrative.

This is the final verse of Matthew's infancy narrative.

The infancy narrative, however, is apparently an invention.

Like the rest of the infancy narrative these verses are careful to not refer to Jesus as Joseph's child.

Matthew and Luke are also the only gospels to include the infancy narratives, and again they differ.

Unlike the infancy narrative this verse begins a section that is closely paralleled in Mark 1 and Luke 3.

They view Matthew's and Luke's infancy narratives, like all the other parts of Scripture, as strict history.

The text shows a familiarity with the infancy narrative of Luke 1:5 despite lacking a birth narrative of its own.
