For some reason, I’ve always had this weird vision of a young Jesus hanging out with his friends at the Roman version of Home Depot, talking about the results from the last night’s chariot races. He probably lived a fairly regular life when he was younger.
And I roll my eyes when Dems try to play up the whole “Jesus was poor” meme. He was a carpenter, a skilled craftsman. He was probably fairly comfortably middle-class.
You are exactly right, and his adult life feeding the poor, etc was with the 12 disciples with him...to get time alone he went out on water alone or drew away for prayer. There was a money bag kept by Judas Iscariot, until he betrayed Jesus...but always there was money to buy their needs.
