Angrily Aren't Bitter Brother Carpenter Isn't James Joseph Joses Juda Judah Judas Jude Mary Mary's Offended Offense Simon Sisters Stumbled Woodworker
6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his {b} sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
(b) This word is used after the manner of the Hebrews, who by brethren and sisters understand all relatives.
6:3 Is not this the carpenter? Matthew reads The carpenter's son (Mt 13:55). This shows that Jesus also had worked at the trade. It was the custom for every Jew to be taught some trade by his parents.
6:3 Is not this the carpenter? - There can be no doubt, but in his youth he wrought with his supposed father Joseph.
6:1-6 Our Lord's countrymen tried to prejudice the minds of people against him. Is not this the carpenter? Our Lord Jesus probably had worked in that business with his father. He thus put honour upon mechanics, and encouraged all persons who eat by the labour of their hands. It becomes the followers of Christ to content themselves with the satisfaction of doing good, although they are denied the praise of it. How much did these Nazarenes lose by obstinate prejudices against Jesus! May Divine grace deliver us from that unbelief, which renders Christ a savour of death, rather than of life to the soul. Let us, like our Master, go and teach cottages and peasants the way of salvation.
