I do not recall the bible actually talking about Jesus doing any work.
He preached, he healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry. He was a minister, a doctor, and the government. Sound like work to me. He also was a carpenter
Matthew 13:55 refers to Jesus as the carpenter's son.
Mark 6:3 refers to him as the carpenter.
Actually the word used translates to Handyman according to scholors I have spoken with at the siminary in Wilmore, KY.
And yes he was a handymans son, but it never talks of anything whwew he did physical work. He grew up in the temple it seems.
One of those liberal academia types?
I've never seen any translationg into handyman. Carpenter, Wood worker, Builder cannot be translated into handyman. Joseph was a handyman? I don't think so. Jesus was a carpenter before he began his ministry and he learned it from Joseph.
Mark 6:3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
