Joseph's death is not mentioned in the New Testament. However, given that he is not mentioned in any of the Gospels after the birth narrative tends to suggest that he died while Jesus was relatively young, but there's no way of knowing.

It's unknown. The gospel accounts do not say when or how Joseph died.

Answer/

It's known. The gospel account of the History of Joseph the Carpenter along with the Infancy Gospels impart his age - ' His life then in total, amounted to one hundred and eleven years, his old age being prolonged to the utmost limit.' Ref: translation of the Bohairic version of The History of Joseph the Carpenter.

The last mention we have in The Bible of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, is in Nazareth, when the people of the synagogue there said:

" And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?" (Luke 4.22) For Jesus had come there to preach when he began his ministry.

There is no record of Joseph's death.

Joseph is last mentioned in the bible when Jesus is lost for a period of three days, and is found again in the temple. After this thereis no mention of Joseph at all. So he could have died young.

It's not written in the Bible.

However, according to visions of Mary from Agreda - Joseph lived for about 60 years.

The death and age of Joseph are not mentioned in the bible. We do not hear of him after the time Jesus is lost in the temple.

Joseph son of Jacob (Matthew's Gospel) or Joseph son of Heli (Luke's Gospel) is the father of Jesus in the gospels. Joseph of Arimathea was the rich man who buried Jesus in his own tomb. Some say that by doing so, Joseph of Arimathea was filling the role expected of a father in Jewish tradition.

no Joseph and the coat of many colors comes from the Old Testament in the bible. It's found in Genesis 37:3 Jesus is born in the new testament and his birth can be found in Matthew

How old was Joseph husband of Mary when he died and were Mary and Jesus with him at that time?

The Bible does not give an exact age for Joseph when he died. It is not explicitly mentioned whether Mary and Jesus were with him at the time of his death. However, tradition holds that Joseph likely died before Jesus began his public ministry.


Was Joseph's father the same Jacob as in Genesis?

AnswerFirst of all, the Jacob in Genesis was certainly the father of the Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, the father of Jesus, came many centuries later than the events and people depicted in the Book of Genesis. Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel clearly says that Joseph's father was called Heli, its author apparently not having identified the possibilities developed by the author of Matthew.


Who was Joseph's great grandfather?

Joseph's great grandfather was Abraham, the patriarch from the Old Testament.


What was the life span during the New Testament times?

As illustrated in the story of Superman and the Gospels, men left home when their fathers died. One potential disciple of Jesus actually told him that he would follow Jesus after his father died i.e. "... permit me first to bury my father." In Luke 12:52, Jesus does not mention the grandfather as part of the family members that reside under the same roof; it is father, mother, son, daughter, and father's mother. Alfred Edersheim makes the case that Jesus' baptism was in A.D. 26 making Jesus 30 years old when his public ministry began and traditionally soon after Joseph died. This places the death of Joseph at age 46 to 56 years. This made it unlikely that the average man in New Testament times would see his grandchildren. If Joseph were average, he would not have seen his grandchildren either and this age range would be typical for Joseph's male contemporaries.
