This is the only place in the NT where Jesus is identified as a carpenter.

The Greek word used is 'tekton' .... now 'teknon' means "child"

Replacing tekton with teknon gives us the reading:

Is not this man the child, the son of Mary ....

The context is that this was the first time he'd been back to his home town since childhood. If he'd been the local carpenter they would have recognised him sooner, sort of thing.

But did he not say when he was being nailed to the cross.
" you want to use the six inch nails, those five inchers wont hold, trust me I'm a carpenter"



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
