And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, х epi (G1909) tois (G3588) logois (G3056) tees (G3588) charitos (G5485)] - 'the words of grace,' referring to the richness of His matter and the sweetness of his manner (Psalms 45:2).
And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? See the notes at Matthew 13:54-56. They knew He had received no rabbinical education, and could not imagine how one who had gone in and out among them, as one of themselves, during all his boyhood and youth, up to within a short time before, could be the predicted Servant of the Lord who was to speak comfort to all mourners, to bring healing tot all human maladies, and be, in fact, the Consolation of Israel.
