law. The first duty of every law abiding Jew whether Pharisee or
Saducee was to provide for his family especially if he was the first born

Mary and Joseph were poor people as they could offer only two turtle
doves instead of a lamb at Mary’s purification rite ceremony. (See Lk.
2:22-24 and compare with Lev. 12:6-8) By the time Jesus was 30, he
had a home, a mother and several brothers and at least two sisters
younger than him.
The day after the baptism of Jesus, John Baptist points out Jesus as
the lamb of God.
John 1:35 -39 The next day John was there again with two of his
disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of
God!" When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you
want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you
staying?" "Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw
where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the
tenth hour.
In Mat. 12:46-50 we see Jesus’ mother and brothers asking to speak
to him. Then Mat. 13:1 starts thus: Mat 13:1 That same day Jesus
went out of the house and sat by the lake.
