Your question is incorrect. Joseph was not Jesus' father. God himself was. Joseph was already dead when Jesus was crucified.

Joseph died when Jesus was 14 years old, so he was not around at the time of Jesus' crucifixion.

126:2.1 All did go well until that fateful day of Tuesday, September 25, when a runner from Sepphoris brought to this Nazareth home the tragic news that Joseph had been severely injured by the falling of a derrick while at work on the governor's residence. The messenger from Sepphoris had stopped at the shop on the way to Joseph's home, informing Jesus of his father's accident, and they went together to the house to break the sad news to Mary. Jesus desired to go immediately to his father, but Mary would hear to nothing but that she must hasten to her husband's side. She directed that James, then ten years of age, should accompany her to Sepphoris while Jesus remained home with the younger children until she should return, as she did not know how seriously Joseph had been injured. But Joseph died of his injuries before Mary arrived. They brought him to Nazareth, and on the following day he was laid to rest with his fathers.

126:2.2 Just at the time when prospects were good and the future looked bright, an apparently cruel hand struck down the head of this Nazareth household, the affairs of this home were disrupted, and every plan for Jesus and his future education was demolished. This carpenter lad, now just past fourteen years of age, awakened to the realization that he had not only to fulfill the commission of his heavenly Father to reveal the divine nature on earth and in the flesh, but that his young human nature must also shoulder the responsibility of caring for his widowed mother and seven brothers and sisters -- and another yet to be born. This lad of Nazareth now became the sole support and comfort of this so suddenly bereaved family. Thus were permitted those occurrences of the natural order of events on Urantia which would force this young man of destiny so early to assume these heavy but highly educational and disciplinary responsibilities attendant upon becoming the head of a human family, of becoming father to his own brothers and sisters, of supporting and protecting his mother, of functioning as guardian of his father's home, the only home he was to know while on this world.

What grew to grow to be of Joseph, Jesus’ adoptive father? After temporarily performing interior the define of that one incident from Jesus’ young toddlers, Joseph disappears from the Gospel checklist. some take this absence as an illustration that Joseph died sometime previously Jesus’ ministry began. in spite of everything, it does look that Mary replaced right into a widow by using the top of Jesus’ ministry. on the time of his loss of existence, Jesus entrusted his mom to the apostle John. (John 19:26, 27) Jesus does no longer likely have accomplished so if Joseph have been nevertheless living. that's sensible to have faith that Jesus took over because of the fact the main significant breadwinner of the family individuals whilst Joseph died. As Jesus’ brothers grew, they could be waiting to settle for their share of family individuals typical jobs. “custom broadcasts that Joseph died whilst Jesus replaced into yet youthful, and that the latter took up the wood worker’s commerce and grew to grow to be the help of the family individuals. This shows some help interior the Scriptural testimony the place Jesus himself is noted as a wood worker, and his mom and brethren are stated, yet Joseph is skipped over. it is totally in all probability, then, that the long era of eighteen years of our Lord’s existence, from the time of the incident to the time of his baptism, replaced into spent interior the overall performance of the conventional responsibilities of existence.” Mary and her toddlers, which incorporate Jesus, in all probability knew the soreness that effects whilst a liked husband and father dies. Like many servants of God, no person is conscious the place they are buried.

His father probably had died at that time that's why Jesus told his disciples to care for his mother before his death. She was a widow.

He was dead. Probably died during Jesus late teens or early twenties. He was much older than Mary.
