Excerpt from Bible Characters: Our Lord's Characters Thou thus dealt with us? Behold, thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing. But He would answer to His mother, How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business? So would His mother say to Him, and so would He answer her, as often as she sought for Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance; while, all the time, He was out in the fields; now with the plough man, and now with the sower, and now with the reaper, and now with the husbandman who had his fan in his hand with which he was thoroughly purg ing his floor. And as He walked and talked with the ploughman, and with the sower, and with the reaper, the Spirit of all truth would descend into His heart and would say to Him that all that husbandry He had been observing so closely was in all its processes.
