Protoevangelium of James 13

1(1) She was in her sixth month. And look! Joseph came from his building, entered the house, and found her pregnant. He struck his face, threw himself on the ground in sackcloth, and wept bitterly, saying, “How can I face the Lord God? What prayer can I offer concerning this young girl, since I received her as a virgin from the Temple of the Lord God and did not protect her? Who has set this trap for me? Who has done this evil thing in my house? Who has defiled the virgin? Am I not reliving the story of Adam? For while Adam was giving glory during the hour of prayer, the serpent came, found Eve alone, and deceived her. And now it has happened to me!” (2) Joseph got up from the sackcloth, called her, and said to her, “God cared for you. Why have you done this? You have forgotten the Lord your God. Why have you humiliated your soul? You were nourished in the Holy of Holies and received food from the hand of an angel!” (3) She wept bitterly, saying, “I am pure, and I have not known a man!” Joseph said to her, “Then where did this thing in your womb come from?” She said, “As the Lord my God lives, I do not know where it came from!”
