⁴² And they said, ^(A)“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

^54 (A)When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? ^55 (B)Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And ^(C)His brothers ^(D)James, ^[a]Joses, Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, ^(A)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
