When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?It's interesting that the people wondered where Jesus got his wisdom from. I've wondered at times what Jesus was like as a child. We know He impressed the teachers at the Temple, but what was the rest of His childhood like?
It appears from this that He wasn't nearly so outgoing in the rest of His youth. He always had this information, but it seems He didn't flaunt it. He only revealed Himself now, rather than being the local golden boy at home. It's a good reminder to always keep an open mind, because you never know when someone has learned something new.
