The Virgin birth 1924 .txt text/plain 12752 665 74 St. Matthew empha­ sizes the part played by St. Joseph in the history of our Lord's birth in direct contrast with St. Luke, who makes the Blessed Mother of Jesus the chief personage of his narrative. We notice, too, that he never calls St. Joseph the father of Jesus as do St. Matthew and St. Luke, but always cautiously speaks of Him as the Son of Mary, the Son of Man (14 times), the Son of David (4 times), thus preventing any pos­ sible misunderstanding on the part of his readers. cache/_005198073.txt txt/_005198073.txt
