A Man of High Character
Commentators note that Luke's description of Joseph as a "good and righteous man" is significant. While "righteous" (or just) implies adherence to the law, the term "good" suggests a higher level of character, indicating benevolence and kindness. This combination paints a picture of a man of exceptional moral standing.
