Joseph’s Character Matthew 1:18–19 Excerpt Joseph must have felt betrayed when Mary was discovered to be pregnant. Even so he was willing to protect her by arranging a private divorce (before just two witnesses, cf .  Num. 5:11–31 ). The comment, “a righteous man” ( v .  19 ), reminds us that righteousness is not stern insistence on the letter of the law, but is well flavored with mercy and compassion.  More Richards, Lawrence O.  The Bible Reader’s Companion . electronic ed.
