I Must Be About My Father S Business
Camila Farah
A number of spurious gospels have come down to us which are full of stories most of them absurd and some of them worse about the infancy of jesus christ.
Scholars hesitate whether or not to adopt the rendering of the old syriac version in my father s house instead of the broader and vaguer about my father s business as the greek will allow either translation. 3 and i sent messengers unto them saying i am doing a great work so that i cannot come down. I must be about my fathers business. Why should the work cease whilst i leave it and come down to you.
It seems to us the best to retain the old rendering we love so well about my father s business. 49 and he said unto them how is it that ye sought me. And he said unto them how is it that ye sought me. So in essence we are to live in fellowship with jesus and the holy spirit and to do the same works that he did that he said his believers would do.
Brg and he said unto them how is it that ye sought me. It answered my question as to exactly what jesus meant when he told his parents that he must be about his father s business and what that means to us as his followers. Did you not see and know that it is necessary as a duty for me to be in my father s house and occupied about my father s business. Wist ye not that i must be about my father s business luke ii.
