126:5.7 The great [[shock]] of his fifteenth year came when [[Jesus]] went over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepphoris Sepphoris] to receive the [[decision]] of Herod regarding the appeal taken to him in the dispute about the amount of [[money]] due [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] at the time of his [[accidental]] [[death]]. [[Jesus]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] had [[hoped]] for the receipt of a considerable sum of [[money]] when the treasurer at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepphoris Sepphoris] had offered them a paltry amount. Joseph's brothers had taken an appeal to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] himself, and now [[Jesus]] stood in the palace and heard Herod [[decree]] that his [[father]] had nothing due him at the time of his [[death]]. And for such an unjust decision Jesus never again trusted [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod Antipas]. It is not surprising that he once alluded to Herod as " that fox.

126:5.8 The close [[work]] at the [[carpenter]]'s bench during this and subsequent years deprived [[Jesus]] of the [[opportunity]] of mingling with the [[caravan]] passengers. The [[family]] supply shop had already been taken over by his uncle, and [[Jesus]] worked altogether in the [[home]] shop, where he was near to help [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] with the [[family]]. About this time he began sending James up to the camel lot to gather [[information]] about world [[events]], and thus he sought to keep in [[touch]] with the news of the day.

126:5.12 With the close of this fifteenth year [[Jesus]] completed the traversal of that [[dangerous]] and difficult period in [[human]] [[existence]], that time of [[transition]] between the more complacent years of [[childhood]] and the [[consciousness]] of approaching [[Maturity|manhood]] with its increased [[responsibilities]] and [[opportunities]] for the acquirement of advanced [[experience]] in the [[development]] of a [[noble]] [[character]]. The [[growth]] period for [[mind]] and [[body]] had ended, and now began the real [[career]] of this [[young man]] of [[Nazareth]].
