    American here - babies, temples…? Enough of your metric system insanity, I need this in football fields.

    Anyway, we do know Jesus wasn’t poor. The Wedding at Cana was a very upscale event - based on the specific types and amounts of expensive anointing oils mentioned in the text. “A poor carpenter’s son” would have been there waiting tables for some extra money. Being a guest tells us he rubbed shoulders with some high rollers. His father Joseph might have been a top craftsman with wealthy clients.
