129:0.1 [[Jesus]] had fully and finally separated himself from the [[management]] of the [[domestic]] affairs of the [[Nazareth]] [[family]] and from the [[immediate]] direction of its [[individuals]]. He continued, right up to the [[event]] of his [[baptism]], to contribute to the [[family]] [[finances]] and to take a keen [[personal]] interest in the [[spiritual]] welfare of every one of his brothers and sisters.

129:0.2 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] had now made every [[preparation]] for detaching himself permanently from the [[Nazareth]] [[home]]; and this was not easy for him to do.
