==In the New Testament==

The [[Pauline epistles]] are the oldest extant Christian writings.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.alecsatin.com/whats-the-chronological-order-of-the-new-testament-books/|title = What's the Chronological Order of the New Testament Books?|date = 2 March 2018}}</ref> These mention Jesus' mother (without naming her), but do not refer to his father. The [[Gospel of Mark]], believed to be the first gospel to be written and with a date about two decades after [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]], also does not mention Jesus' father.<ref name="oblates">{{cite web|url=http://osjusa.org/st-joseph/scripture/iii-joseph-in-the-gospels-of-mark-and-john/|title=Joseph in the Gospels of Mark and John|
The first appearance of Joseph is in the gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]], often dated from around 80–90 AD. Each contains a [[genealogy of Jesus]] showing ancestry from King [[David]], but through different sons; Matthew follows the major royal line from [[Solomon]], while Luke traces another line back to [[Nathan (son of David)|Nathan]], another son of David and [[Bathsheba]]. Consequently, all the names between David and Joseph are different.
