Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Joseph, Jesus’ step-father, died while Jesus was still a child.

Matthew 13:2  –   Matthew 13:55-56  –  Luke 4:14-22  –  John 6:42 – John 19:25-27

Fact of the Day

No!  After Jesus was grown, began his ministry, and moved to Capernaum, he visited his hometown in Nazareth and preached there. The people said, “IS (present tense) this not Joseph’s son?”  IS (present tense) not his mother’s name Mary?  ARE (present tense) not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?  ARE (present tense) not all his sisters with us?” 

His step-father apparently died between his visit to Nazareth during his ministry and the crucifixion.
