History
Conception
In Matthew 1:19, the phrase “put away” is a literal rendering of the Greek term for what we would divorce, and in the verse we can see Joseph was not even really married yet, and Mary must have still been living in the home of her own family, so we see that the term is used in a legal sense.[1]
