1:27 engaged to be married: In Jewish culture, marriages were arranged, and engagement was a formal legal contract between two families. Girls were normally married by their mid-teens. • Joseph, a descendant of King David: See Matt 1:1-16. Joseph’s ancestry is significant because the Messiah was to be a descendant of King David (2 Sam 7:11-16; Isa 9:7).
