Even though there are four books which speaks of Jesus only Matt. & Luke gives some light as to how Jesus’ birth came about.
“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” Matt. 1:18-20
Bible says Joseph’s would be wife Mary was found pregnant through the Holy Spirit before marriage, but Joseph instead of calling off the marriage decided to marry her and then divorce her quietly because he didn’t want to expose her to public disgrace! Sounds like Joseph thought Mary’s belly wouldn’t have got bigger if he had married her and then divorced her!
