Matthew 13:55
13:55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary?70 And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
| 70 | sn The reference to Jesus as the carpenter’s son is probably derogatory, indicating that they knew Jesus only as a common laborer like themselves. The reference to his mother … Mary (even though Jesus’ father was probably dead by this point) appears to be somewhat derogatory, for a man was not regarded as his mother’s son in Jewish usage unless an insult was intended (cf. Judg 11:1–2; John 4:41; 8:41; 9:29). |
