Commentary on John 6:42
Their question 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?' shows familiarity breeding contempt. Knowing His earthly origins, they cannot fathom His heavenly origin. This illustrates how human reasoning based on natural knowledge can blind us to supernatural reality. The incarnation's scandal is precisely this: the eternal Word became flesh with identifiable human parents.
