51, 52. All that are furnished with holy knowledge, and are fitted to teach others, must have an habitual treasure of it in their minds, from whence they may be able to open the truth, exhort, reprove, and confute all the erroneous on all just occasions: as a House-keeper is stocked for the provision of his family.

53, 54. And it came to pass that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their Synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 55, 56.

Carnal men are not satisfied by the evidence of Divine attestation, unless they can give a reason of it, and overcome the difficulty and scandal of objections. 3. It is uncertain whether Mary had other Children after Jesus, or these were his brethren, or only his kindred.
