Augustine of Hippo, on Mark 6:1

“And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him.”

“(de Con. Evan. ii. 42) Matthew indeed says that He was called the son of a carpenter; nor are we to wonder, since both might have been said, for they believed Him to be a carpenter, because He was the son of a carpenter.”
