Matthew 1:19 Douay-Rheims

Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

But if he had no suspicion of her, how could he be a just man, and yet seek to put her away, being immaculate? He sought, to put her away, because he saw in her a great sacrament, to approach which he thought himself unworthy.
