Mary was one of the most very important characters in the time of Jesus’s birth,because she was the one who had to well actually give birth to him. She had to understand what the angel meant at first, and probably be very very scared and frustrated, because she might have not known what would happen because if you committed adultery there you could be stoned to death. And Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph so she wouldn’t be surprised if Joseph thought she committed adultery.
Joseph was also one of the very important characters in Jesus’s birth because he had to trust Mary that she didn’t commit adultery like I said before there you could be stoned to death if you committed adultery, and Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph so he actually did think Mary did commit adultery so he was going to secretly divorce her, and he was such a righteous man that he didn’t have her be stoned. Then he also had to believe her that it was the work of the Holy Spirit. Joseph also had to find an excuse to tell everybody so that they wouldn’t think she did commit adultery and do you really think people would believe you if you said I didn’t commit adultery it was the Holy Spirit?
