128:6.2 [[Jesus]] was one of the most [[robust]] and refined [[specimens]] of manhood to appear on [[earth]] since the days of [[Adam]]. His [[physical]] [[development]] was superb. His [[mind]] was [[active]], keen, and penetrating—[[compared]] with the [[average]] mentality of his contemporaries, it had developed gigantic [[proportions]]—and his [[spirit]] was indeed humanly [[divine]].

128:6.3 The [[family]] [[finance]]s were in the best condition since the disappearance of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph]'s estate. The final payments had been made on the [[caravan]] repair shop; they owed no man and for the first time in years had some funds ahead.

As his own brothers and sisters grew up, as he gained more [[leisure]], and before the grandchildren arrived, he paid a great deal of [[attention]] to these little ones. But he did not live on earth long enough to enjoy the grandchildren very much.
