Jesus' first disciple was his mother, who gave us the total account of his early life

Really, I must have missed that account in Scripture....

I didn't count the times Jesus early life is written about, maybe 5 or 6 times ?

Hardly a "total" account

[Mrs. Don-o]

If I may pop in here with a repl, I believe Charles is talking about the total account which is found in the NT.

We all know that most of Jesus' early years pass without record, which is why we refer to these as the "Hidden Years."

SOME of us also realize that there's as much about Mary in the OT as there is in the NT.

And no, we're not talking about dingbat goddesses.
