Joseph is also a character from the Bible's Old Testament. St. John uses the story of Joseph as a way to illustrate the fact that a person in love will work without ceasing for the one they love. In Joseph's case, he made a deal with Rachel's father that Joseph would work seven years for Rachel's father for the right to marry Rachel.
