I think the point the article is making is that Joesphus records King Herod the Great recruiting 10,000 skilled craftsmen to build the Temple, and to train 1000 Jewish priests to do the work of tektons - usually translated as carpenters, but on a large scale.
I found an mp3 at www.templehouse-publishing.com that explains in more depth. Joseph would have been alive then (18BC) + as a devout tekton seems well placed to have been involved, thus explaining who might have cared for Jesus aged 12 when he was lost in Jerusalem - priests on duty had living accommodation in the Temple. That would place Jesus there. This has repercussions for Christ’s poition in their society.
Thank you for your source...I will look at that.
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called
Mary? - Matthew 13:55
this is the exact translation from Greek.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary... Mark 6:3
this is the exact translation from Greek.
We see a difference.
Now tradition says that the Apostle Saint Mark heard much of what he wrote in his gospel from Saint Peter.
Saint Matthew wrote what he knew, first hand.
I do not see a problem here, maybe one of emphasis...after all sons regularly took their occupations from their fathers.
