Mary's Son

Is He not the carpenter, the son of Mary...
Mark 6:3


Mary's son.

An insult spoken by those in His home town.

Not Joseph's son,

Mary's.

He was a carpenter.

He shows amazing wisdom,

but still,

He is the son of Mary.


This is His home.

This is where He spent his early years.

He was but a boy,

like any boy.

Now He comes and speaks of things

no rabbi has ever taught.


May's son.

Some will call Him as such,

without knowing how they prophesize.

They tie His lineage

to his mother's name

because they do not know His Father.
