Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, Is not this he who sat and begged?

Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him. He said, I am he.

And they knew that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

And when He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers Jacob, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?

And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this Man know letters, having never studied?
