Joseph.
Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, and the husband of Mary, is hardly mentioned in the Bible, however every thing written about him indicates that he was a kind, and a compassionate and just and merciful man of God. He was a good husband to Mary. When they were betrothed, he was told that his betrothed, Mary was "with child", which was a quandry for him. He planned to put her away, quietly, rather than make her a public spectacle, and to be stoned to death, whch was called for in such a case. The bottom line, is that he BELIEVED God, and under these very dire circumstances, chose mercy for his betrothed.
He was, although mentioned little, one of the Godliest men in Biblical history.
