13:54 - When he returned to his homeland he went to the temple to teach. The people were amazed and said, from where does this man draw his wisdom and great deeds?

13:55 - Isn’t this the son of the carpenter? Isn’t his mother Mary? And his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

13:56 - Ain’t his sisters down with us on this? Where did this guy get all of this stuff?
