127:1.1 The [[incarnated]] [[Creator Son|Son]] passed through [[infancy]] and [[experienced]] an uneventful [[childhood]]. Then he emerged from that testing and trying [[transition]] [[stage]] between [[childhood]] and young manhood—he became the [[adolescent]] [[Jesus]].
127:1.2 This year he [[attained]] his full [[physical]] [[growth]]. He was a [[virile]] and comely [[youth]]. He became increasingly sober and serious, but he was [[kind]] and [[sympathetic]]. His eye was kind but searching; his smile was always [[engaging]] and reassuring. His [[voice]] was [[musical]] but [[authoritative]]; his greeting cordial but unaffected. Always, even in the most commonplace of [[contacts]], there seemed to be in [[evidence]] the [[touch]] of a [[twofold]] [[nature]], the [[human]] and the [[divine]]. Ever he displayed this combination of the sympathizing [[friend]] and the [[authoritative]] [[teacher]]. And these [[personality]] traits began early to become [[manifest]], even in these [[adolescent]] years.
127:1.3 This [[physically]] strong and robust [[youth]] also acquired the full [[growth]] of his human [[intellect]], not the full [[experience]] of [[human]] [[thinking]] but the fullness of [[capacity]] for such [[intellectual]] [[development]]. He [[possessed]] a [[healthy]] and well-[[proportioned]] [[body]], a keen and [[analytical]] [[mind]], a [[kind]] and [[sympathetic]] disposition, a somewhat fluctuating but [[aggressive]] [[temperament]], all of which were becoming [[organized]] into a strong, striking, and [[attractive]] [[personality]].
127:1.4 As time went on, it became more [[difficult]] for his [[mother]] and his brothers and sisters to [[understand]] him; they stumbled over his sayings and misinterpreted his [[doings]]. They were all unfitted to [[comprehend]] their eldest [[brother]]'s life because their [[mother]] had given them to [[understand]] that he was [[destined]] to become the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_messianism deliverer of the Jewish people]. After they had received from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] such intimations as [[family]] [[secrets]], [[imagine]] their [[confusion]] when [[Jesus]] would make frank denials of all such [[ideas]] and [[intentions]].
127:1.5 This year Simon started to school, and they were [[compelled]] to sell another house. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] now took charge of the teaching of his three sisters, two of whom were old enough to begin serious [[study]]. As soon as Ruth grew up, she was taken in hand by Miriam and Martha. Ordinarily the [[Female|girls]] of [[Jewish]] [[families]] received little [[education]], but [[Jesus]] maintained (and his [[mother]] agreed) that girls should go to school the same as [[Male|boys]], and since the [[synagogue]] [[school]] would not receive them, there was nothing to do but [[conduct]] a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_school home school] especially for them.
127:1.6 Throughout this year [[Jesus]] was closely confined to the [[Carpenter|workbench]]. Fortunately he had plenty of [[work]]; his was of such a superior grade that he was never idle no matter how slack work might be in that region. At times he had so much to do that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James] would help him.
127:1.7 By the end of this year he had just about made up his [[mind]] that he would, after rearing his [[family]] and seeing them [[married]], enter [[publicly]] upon his [[work]] as a [[teacher]] of [[truth]] and as a [[revealer]] of the [[heavenly Father]] to the world. He knew he was not to become the expected [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_messianism Jewish Messiah], and he concluded that it was next to useless to [[discuss]] these matters with his [[mother]]; he decided to allow her to entertain whatever [[ideas]] she might [[choose]] since all he had said in the [[past]] had made little or no impression upon her and he recalled that his [[father]] had never been able to say anything that would change her [[mind]]. From this year on he talked less and less with his [[mother]], or anyone else, about these [[problems]]. His was such a peculiar [[mission]] that no one living on [[earth]] could give him advice concerning its prosecution.
127:1.8 He was a real though [[youthful]] [[father]] to the [[family]]; he spent every possible hour with the [[Children|youngsters]], and they truly loved him. His [[mother]] grieved to see him [[work]] so hard; she sorrowed that he was day by day toiling at the [[carpenter]]'s bench earning a living for the [[family]] instead of being, as they had so fondly [[planned]], at [[Jerusalem]] studying with the [[rabbis]]. While there was much about her son that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] could not [[understand]], she did [[love]] him, and she most thoroughly [[appreciated]] the willing [[manner]] in which he shouldered the [[responsibility]] of the [[home]].
