Ages of Mary and Joseph

Someone submitted the question, “How old were Mary and Joseph when Jesus was born?” The ages of men and women appear in Scripture in many cases throughout the Bible. For instance, Genesis 7:6 reads, “Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth” (NKJV). Furthermore, Luke 3:23 says, “Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age.” However, the ages of Mary and Joseph do not appear in the Bible. There are too many variables to even put forth a credible theory.
