He did not measure himself by the cultural standards
of his day, as did some others, who scoffed at the fact that he was a
carpenter (Mark 6:3), nor by the greatness
of the order
of the intellect (his education was that which could be gained at the local synagogue school) Some
of the creatures made by the Word
of God are greater in these respects than the one who is the Word
of God incarnate, and that one is not
ashamed of his inferiority.
