Mary and Joseph’s children, Catholic Church’s ‘false teachings’
Meanwhile, during the start of Hanukkah, King Herod realizes that the astronomers have forsook him, and he issues the order to kill all male infants two years and under in the region of Bethlehem. This includes the house of Zacharias.
The Temple guards sent to kill the infants heard of the account of Yochanan, and sought out to find him, but could not find him. So since they knew that his father was serving in the Temple, they seized Zacharias in the Temple and demanded to know where his son was.
Of course, he refused to tell them, so they murdered him right there “between the Temple and the altar.”
Yeshua later expounded concerning Zacharias’ death (Matt 23:35).
Catholic (false) doctrine tries to teach that Joseph had four sons and two daughters from a prior marriage before he married Miriam (Mary).
If so, where did they stay while Joseph and Mary were in the sukkah?
Mary probably had already given birth to another child when Joseph was told to come back from Egypt. Since their younger children were with them when they left Jerusalem after Passover in 11 AD, Joseph and Mary thought Jesus was among them in the caravan. No one said anything. But when Jesus could not be foundthat first night, they returned to Jerusalem the next day and spent three days searching for Jesus.
They finally thought to look in the Temple, and there they found Jesus, safe and sound, conversing with the Temple scholars, and he was just 12 ½ at the time.
Yeshua’s question to his parents was “How did you look for me?”, not “Why did you look for me?”
He was inferring that if they would have first looked for Him in the Temple (His Father’s house), they would have immediately found Him, instead of wasting three days looking elsewhere.
