Dr. Brant Pitre Reveals the Scriptural Secrets of St Joseph 

Could listen to Brant explaining Scripture all day, every day.

The underrated king, the gentle father, the brave protector, the hidden beautiful silent secret man of God

I prayed to st Joseph to help me be chaste, and I’ve done it. I have such a love and admiration for him and watching this brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing.

This needs to be a movie: Joseph King of the Jews.

St. Joseph, the silent and hidden King, pray for us!

This just blew me away! It made me see my patron, St. Joseph, in a new way. I could listen to Dr. Pitre for hours. Thank you, and God Bless!

Imagine how close St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin must have been as husband and wife - truly the best of friends - in their love of Jesus and submission to God's Will.

I love the way the House of David goes underground at the same time the Ark goes underground. 600 years later both re-emerge as Joseph and Mary (the new Ark)

Thank you for this. St Joseph is so overlooked. I recently consecrated myself to Joseph and Jesus through Mary. I have so much more respect for the Holy Family and the individual of St Jospeh. Praise God. ❤✝️❤️

OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING! Wait 'til this gets out there! Honestly, I just didn't get into the year of Joseph. I wanted to, but nothing grabbed me. THIS DID!! ♥️

I do not think I have ever heard this about Joseph being a hidden king amazing thankyou fr.jb

Dear Matt (and Brant also...)! The talk is fabulous. Really. I almost cried just from imagining how much the story is like the true Lord of the Rings, with Joseph hiding and defending the true Heir to the Throne and fleeing to Egypt. Wow. And btw - the joke about Eusebius' Church History - "We all have a copy!" - is one of the best naturally funny scenes I have ever seen. It shows how much all the greatness of the True Faith is always interwoven with humor... Thank you from Berlin / Germany! And God bless!

This is just too good to know especially for me a Catholic and having St Joseph as my favorite saint.

You two are really great together. I learnt so much about St Joseph that I never knew before. I found this so exciting and informative. There seems to be such richness and depth to the Catholic faith. Thank you Matthew for your ministry, it’s very helpful as I look more and more closely at the Catholic faith

Loved the interview! For the past several months St. Joseph has been one of my companions in reading the Bible. I pray to him calling him "the teacher of the Teacher" - he would have taught the child Jesus the Jewish Scriptures.

Dr. Brant Pitre is just amazing

Wow! Just like Moses was adopted into Pharoah family, but was a Hebrew. Now Joseph adopts Jesus. So many biblical prefigurations for our Messiah. Thank you for this talk.

Wow...loved this talk so much. That part at the end talking about the one Word we know for sure St. Joseph spoke in the Gospels was so heart-tugging..that one Word he spoke was literally, THE WORD made flesh. It's definitely no joke that God works in mysterious ways, my mind is blown listening to this. I had to laugh when Brant mentioned that a whole tree can grow from a tree stump because that's exactly what happened to a tree l cut down last year..It's now a fully grown tree again .☺👍

St Joseph pray for us ❤️✝️🙏🏻

The Hidden King is just amazing 😻 🙏 ❤️

Thank you for this wonderful discussion on my favorite Saint after the Virgin Mother, Mary. Btw, I remember watching two other videos from other sources. One of them was surmising that the time around Jesus' birth must have been a Jubilee year (or after a Jubilee year), when land sold would return to the original owner. This could explain why Joseph, who had settled in Nazareth, had to return to Bethlehem for registration for taxation. Maybe among the reasons he stayed longer in Bethlehem, long enough for the Magi to find his family, was either he thought he could resettle there, to enable Jesus to strengthen His claim as Messiah, or to try to dispose of his land again, if he thought settling somewhere else was safer for the family. The other video had a small discussion about a speculation that descendants of David settled in that little village up north, all of them awaiting the Messiah--but no reason was given for it, despite Herod's wrath being a clear one. The name "Nazareth" was supposedly derived from Isaiah's prophecy that the Messiah will be born from a "branch (nasr) of Jesse" (Davidic line). This latter speculation feeds into my own leaning towards the belief that Mary herself is a descendant of David, because Jesus derives His blood and ancestry from her, although in His time, legal paternity seemed to hold more weight (e.g., in the case of levitical marriages) because that is what is entered in the genealogy records. But until I watched this video, I never thought of the true meaning of being of the royal House of David and the political implications of it under Herod and Rome. Thank you for this discussion!

And we adopted sons and daughters of God. Our Heavenly Father is King snd we sre all royal heirs. How much the evil one would want us removed! How much we need to remain humble snd submissive to God our King..

Matt, This is the clearest explanation of the significance of St. Joseph I have ever heard! Outstanding explanation by Dr. Pitre! Wow!

Thank you just came across your canel you have a new subscriber Thank you both God bless you all please pray for me St Joseph will help me quit drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes and for transportation

As expected from Dr Pitre's exposition of the Scriptures, I am blown away again. From this point on reading Matthew's genealogy litany will be seen in a new and exciting way! Thank you Dr. Pitre. Love your books. Thank you Matt.Love your podcast and the SoS..Science of Sainthood .God bless you both.

“The Return of the King” comes to my mind, when listening to this. It is so exhilarating! Do you think that Tolkien would have known this part about Joseph? I wonder. Beautiful stuff. It ads to the mystery and excitement of the Gospels.

Fascinating ❤❤❤

Beautiful, insightful discussion of St. Joseph. Have often hear the comment that we don't know a single word that St. Joseph uttered but Dr. Pitre's brilliant comment that there is a word we know he spoke in the NT - Jesus - the most important word that can be ever be spoken.

Praise God, this was awesome. I remember the Angel speaks to St. Joseph in a dream to name the child " Jesus " He will save his people from their sins. Hope I am not wrong 🙏

Visibly true friendship!!! God bless u both!!

This interview is so fascinating. St Joseph, pray for us and help us to be humble.

His name is JESUS !!! great show , St Joseph pray for us , Come Holy Spirit !!!

I love the way I feel like im sitting in front of you in the same room.

I feel so good hearing this; I've been thinking on this, that St Joseph indeed spoke one word, the only word that matters: Jesus.

The segment on the one word St. Joseph spoke…chills and watery-eyes immediately. Ite ad Joseph! God Bless Dr. Pitre

WOW!!!!! This is so incredible. I have not listened to anything like this in a long time. I picked up and learned so much from this. Thank you so much for this. And like a previous person's comment on here, I too could listen to Dr. Brant Pitre all day. And when you get Matthew Leanad together with him it's just so great. Please keep these coming and God bless you both for sharing this so simple people like myself could learn so much more and deepen my faith even more.

Amazing previously unknown information about Joseph. Matt and Brant are a great team... I could listen to both of them all day. Thanks guys. Great job.

pax so overwhelming! can you also find the line from Mary! in The Godman of M Valtorta . it says she’s fro m the royal and priestly line of Aaron ! Elisabeth was her Cousin and she was married with Zachariah who was Priest! So it’s likely that Anna was of Aaron’s line!!???? God bless Sr Mikaela

Dr. Pitre can't wait for your book The Hidden King. Are you not going to make that into a book? We need a scholarly book on Joseph.

St Joseph is my favourite saint. God bless you dr Brant

AWESOME teachings. THANK you Dr. Petrie. ST JOSEPH Pray for us

It was so fun to hear the one word we know Joseph said.😊

BRANT PITRE He is Always informative

Thank you oh so much for this teaching on Saint Joseph. I have had a devotion to this powerful Saint for most of my life and, in recent years, I thought and believed that Saint Joseph was conceived without Original Sin because of His most important role as the father of Jesus, the Messiah - Prince of Peace. It makes a lot of sense that it be that way because ‘The father of a prince is always a king’. It is indeed time for Saint Joseph to take his place along side of His Son and Spouse, the ever Virgin Mary. Thank you for letting me continue to believe what I already believe but with Scripture to back up my beliefs. Praise the Lord! Alleluia. Hosannah, and amen!

If Dr. Pitre’s book is as good as “The Life and Glories of St. Joseph” while adding more to our understanding, I’m interested.

Love listening to Dr Brant Pitre explaining the Scripture, both old and new testaments

Your conversation takes my breath away, amazing 💗

So powerful, thank you and God Bless You both!

That's absolutely incredible! Especially the one word that St. Joseph spoke in his lifetime--drawn from the Gospels!

The parallels that Tolkien drew between St. Joseph and Aragorn are stunning!

This was amazing. Thank you guys for this discussion!

Great episode. I truly loved it. While listening, I kept thinking of Saint Joseph as a kind of true life Aragorn (from the Lord of the Rings). That was certainly outrageous, but cool. I also reflected on the fact that Pope Francis has a deep devotion to Saint Joseph, which complements Pope John Paul II’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also explains some of their differences in rule and style.

Simply wow. I never would have tjought about this. I feel a closeness to St Joseph now

I wish there was more talk on how to evangelize or what to do when loved ones leaves the Catholic Church. I have 3 grown sons who left the Catholic Church. My mother and my two sisters, too.

Amazing. God bless both of you

Thank you for these insights, Dr. Brant and Leonard we're going to see Christmas in a whole new light from now on. Thank you ! ❤

Two of my favorite resources. God bless you and keep you both🙏❤️

Thanks to both of you! More power! God bless you both!

Thank you for this talk. I often ask for the intercession of St. Joseph.

huge ,beautiful , fantastic God bless Your mission ! St Joseph be with you and support You👍👍👍🙏

Wow!!! Great teaching. Very spiritually nourishing wit great historical background. Thank u Dr Petri. God bls u & ua loved ones & keep all of u well, now & 4rever, thr our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. O blessed St Joseph, pray 4 us sinners, now & @ th hr of our death & help us 2 grow in virtual, amen. Thank St Joseph. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Profound and Full of Wisdom!

I would love to study under Dr. Bryant..

My jaw hit the floor when he pointed out where Joseph actually apke in the Bible...and in that one word, points us to his son, just like Mary.

Thank you Dr Brent! This is so very interesting. Thank you for the great interview. God bless you both👐👐🕯🕯

where do I get a copy of the Church History as Dr Brant was referring to, in this video please Matt. ???? Thank you so much for your precious videos ...Stephen , Chennai, INDIA

Hi Matthew and Brant. Thank you! 💥HEY… MATTHEW LEONARD! Did you know that you have the same very unique distinctive voice that BRANDON POTTER who plays QUINTUS, the Roman praetor in THE CHOSEN has??? If anyone or yourself has been watching the awesome spectacular show THE CHOSEN Listen to the character of QUINTUS talk! You sound alike! It is amazing.😊👏 As for this St. Joseph info…very cool! Love it!

Listening here, didn’t know you had this! 😍 I LOVE SAINT JOSEPH 🤎 I pray to him t/o the day…… 🕯 I wlll have to get that prayer book mentioned at end!

Thank you!

Very informative and logical discussion. Learnt so much.

AMAZING! THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.

Thank you so much for this talk. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Beautiful insights! God bless

soooo beautiful ❤️ thank you both, you are both amazing

Thank you for sharing this blessed information!

Amazing!! Thank you both of you. God bless!! 🙏

Great convo, thanks! Messiah ben Joseph by David Mitchell is also fascinating, slightly different angle but similar in the sense that it's a layer of the Jesus story that is rarely known or discussed.

insightful, amazing and valuable. Thank you Dr. Brant!

My eyes got really moistened many a time while i listening this great talks. Thank you so much Leonard & Pitre🙏🏻

I love to read his book, listen to his talk.

Lol the chemistry between you two was lovely. Clearly a great friendship 💞

Really fascinating- thank you 👍🏻

Thank you so much.

Great stuff ❤

Well the virgin mary is also a descendant from the line of (King) David by the way.

Awesome!

Mind-blowing!

Now it makes more sense why St Joseph neede to die before Jesus 🤯this is amazing thing to know

Awesome talk guys! Please join our Josephology Facebook group everyone who loves St. Joseph!

Great interview, I wanted to add a thought to St Joseph naming Jesus, in Mathew 1:21 the angel tells Joseph "...you are to give him the name Jesus..."

Thank you for this interview. Brant Petri is one of my favorite Catholic authors. I have one question, Brant mentioned Eusebius’ history. Are there various Eusebius’ history, that are different from each other? If there are, which book or publisher, which do recommend?

This is awesome

So good.

Incredible historical Jewish info - especially regarding Herod around 11:50

Wow! Wow! Wow!❤🙏🏻

Great 👍

Thank you Matthew, Brant and Patreon supporters of Matthew. Wonderful. Herod probably won't tolerate this information much longer... is it possible to wean people away from yt to freer platforms like GabTV or Odyssee?

I love it❤

when I say the prayer to Saint Joseph for 9 days he answers my prayer on like the 3rd or 4th day.

Will do.
