He was most likely a Stone Mason in those days. One of my favorite Bible verses calling out the jews saying "the stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone" which is the most important part when laying a foundation.
Wouldn't that specifically imply that he's not a mason?
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
I meant an actual stone mason by trade. That was a more popular profession at the time supposedly.
Correct. My point is that he wouldn't have been, by definition— literally, metaphorically, and metaphysically. The fact that he's knowledgeable enough, to be such an allegorical genius, is beside the point.
