The Carpenter's Son

Sed livoris nubilum, malitiae fumus, visum spectantium caligabant, ne lumen Christi, ne tempus Evangelii perviderent dicendo: Nonne hic est fabri filius? Dicebant, Hic est fabri filius; sed cujus fabri filius non dicebant; dicebant fabri filius, ut arte vili ars lateret auctoris, et deitatis nomen fabrile nomen absconderet. Christus erat fabri filius, sed illius qui mundi fabricam fecit non malleo, sed praecepto; qui elementorum membra non ingenio, sed jussione compegit; qui massam saeculi auctoritate, non carbone conflavit; qui solem non terreno igne, sed superno calore succendit; qui lunam, tenebras, noctem formavit, et tempora, qui stellas variata luce distinxit; qui cuncta fecit ex nihilo, et fecit, o homo, tibi, ut opificem operis aestimatione pensares. Sanctus Petrus Chrysologus, Sermo XLVIII, De Christo Fabri Filio Appellato, et de Invidia. Source: Migne PL 52.334c-335a

But with a cloud of spite and the smoke of malice darkening the vision of the onlookers so that they did not see the light of Christ, nor that it was the time of the Gospel, they said: 'Is this not the son of a carpenter?' 1 They were saying: 'He is the son of a carpenter,' but they did not say the son of which carpenter. They were saying 'son of a carpenter,' so that a common art might hide the Creator’s art, and so that the name of carpenter might conceal the name of the Deity. Christ was the Son of a carpenter, but of Him who fashioned the structure of the universe, not with a hammer, but with a command. With an order He joined together the parts of elements, not with cleverness. With His authority He fused together the mass of the world, not with coal. He did not kindle the sun with an earthly fire but with heat from heaven, He who fashioned the moon, the darkness, the night and the seasons, who made the stars distinct with differing light, who made everything from nothing, and made it, man, for you, so that by thinking on the work you think of Him who made it. Saint Peter Chrysologus, from Sermon 48, On Christ Being Called The Carpenter's Son 1 Mt 13.55
