OF THE LIFE OF CHRIST OUR LORD FROM TWELVE TO THIRTY YEARS

St. Matthew writes in the second Chapter [19-23].

First Point. First: The Angel warns Joseph to return to Israel. "Arise and take the Child and His Mother and go to the land of Israel.'"

Second Point. Second: Rising, he came to the land of Israel.

Third Point. Third: Because Archelaus, son of Herod, was reigning in Judea, he withdrew into Nazareth.

St. Luke writes in the second Chapter [51, 52].

First Point. First: He was obedient to His parents: "He advanced in wisdom, age and grace."

Second Point. Second: It appears that [24] He exercised the trade of carpenter, as St. Mark shows he means [25] in the sixth chapter. "Perhaps this is that carpenter? "

[24] It appears that is in the Saint's handwriting, inserted before He exercised.

[25] Shows he means is in the Saint's hand, correcting says.
