@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz Mary is probably a metaphor for the Samaritans and Joseph is a metaphor for the Israelites. In the Old Testament the Samaritans and Jews are suppose to unite and the Samaritans had never had a prophet for the Jews. Remember, Jesus was accused of being a Samaritan, which he promptly ignored. He was always displaying Samaritan behavior, such as climbing the hills to preach.
