Matthew 1:18-25 say nothing on what happened after Jesus was born. Read what is written and don’t fantacize about it.

24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Exactly. Like I said, nothing about Joseph following the birth of Jesus.

I have never seen an English New Testament that actually reads UNION were KNEW HER was in that verse. What Version did you use. I personally own several translations. Anyway it usually reads different. It means only that Joseph had nothing to do with the conception of Jesus. It implies nothing as to what happened afterward. Thats why it is stated so you knew it was the virgin woman from the Book of Isaiah prediction. Its not stating That There was sex later. That wording is used alot in the old testament. I believe in 2samuel 6:23 It reads in some translation Michal had no children until her death. Does that mean she had children after death?
