{Took unto him his wife} (parelaben t(886e) gunaika autou).
The angel had told him not to be afraid to "take to his side"
Mary his wife ( 1:20 ). So when he awoke from his sleep he
promptly obeyed the angel and "took his wife home" (Moffatt). One
can only imagine the relief and joy of Mary when Joseph nobly
rose to his high duty toward her. I have tried to sketch Mary's
problems in _Mary the Mother of Jesus: Her Problems and Her
Glory._
