The History of Joseph the Carpenter

  • Matt. 1:16 He has consumed all that it found! Woe to my feet, which have too often walked in ways displeasing to God! Woe to my body; and woe to my miserable soul, which has already turned aside from God its Maker! What shall I do when I arrive at that place where I must stand before the most righteous Judge, and when He shall call me to account for the works which I have heaped up in my youth? Woe to every man dying in his sins! Assuredly that same dreadful hour, which came upon my father Jacob. [23
  • And three months after her conception the righteous man Joseph returned from the place where he worked at his trade; and when he found my virgin mother pregnant, he was greatly perplexed, and thought of sending her away secretly. [10].

The Arabic Gospel of the Infancy of the Saviour

  • 4. Matt. 27:63 In perverseness, you will persecute righteous men, and hate the godly; the words of the faithful you will abhor, and the man who renews the law in the power of the Most High you will call a deceiver. [25]
