Matthew 1:24 Douay-Rheims

And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

Jerome

c. A.D. 347–420 Patristic

From the words, her firstborn Son, some most erroneously suspect that Mary had other sons, saying that first-born can only be said of one that has brethren. But this is the manner of Scripture, to call the first-born not only one who is followed by brethren, but the first-birth of the mother.
