Christ had been Commander of the heavenly host; but He did not because of this excuse Himself from labor, allowing His parents to support Him. While still quite young, He learned a trade, and faithfully discharged His daily duties, contributing to the support of the family.{5BC 1118.1}

Kristus har været Befalingsmand over himmelhæren; men på grund af dette undskyldte Han ikke Sig selv fra arbejde, og lod Sine forældre støtte ham. Medens han stadig var ganske ung, lærte Han et erhverv, og udførte trofast Sine daglige pligter, og bidrog til at underholde familien.
