Luke 2:49
_ _ about my Father’s business — literally, “in” or “at My Fathers,” that is, either “about My Father’s affairs,” or “in My Father’s courts” — where He dwells and is to be found — about His hand, so to speak. This latter shade of meaning, which includes the former, is perhaps the true one, Here He felt Himself at home, breathing His own proper air. His words convey a gentle rebuke of their obtuseness in requiring Him to explain this. “Once here, thought ye I should so readily hasten away? Let ordinary worshippers be content to keep the feast and be gone; but is this all ye have learnt of Me?” Methinks we are here let into the holy privacies of Nazareth; for what He says they should have known, He must have given them ground to know. She tells Him of the sorrow with which His father and she had sought Him. He speaks of no Father but one, saying, in effect, My Father has not been seeking Me; I have been with Him all this time; “the King hath brought me into His chambers ... His left hand is under my head, and His right hand doth embrace me” (Song of Songs 1:4; Song of Songs 2:6). How is it that ye do not understand? (Mark 8:21). |
