| − | | | + | |And the Jews were amazed, saying, "How can this man be so well educated, since He did not train with a Rabbi?" |
| − | | | + | |The Greek verb, μανθάνω, often (particularly when used of religious learning) had an implied meaning in Jewish culture of "being someone's disciple, training with a Rabbi." It was simply unheard of in Jewish culture to reach "Rabbi" status without having discipled under a Rabbi, which it was well known that Jesus did not do. On the other hand, this also created the cultural stricture that no Rabbi was allowed to disagree with the Rabbi under whom he discipled. Jesus did not have to worry about that restriction, as He discipled directly with God the Father. Thus, the "train with a Rabbi" part of this translation is implied by the verb, not stated outright. |
