Question: If everyone knew about the pregnancy, how were You treated growing up? Were You mocked, bullied, made fun of?

God’s answer:

A fish in a fishbowl (as in “living in a fishbowl”)

 
All eyes were on Me.

Meaning: The people were always watching to see what would happen to Him. There was a sense of anticipation and curiosity because of the prophetic circumstances of his conception and birth. This is why in the wedding of Cana, when Mother Mary told them to do as He (Jesus) says…they just did so.

Question: Considering that Mother Mary was pregnant before she got married to Saint Joseph, what happened that changed the community’s perception? Why did they see You as someone special and not a “bastard child.”?

God’s answer:

The visit of the three kings

This is the second meaning to the sculpture about the kings, with the message: They followed the signs. There was an anomaly. Their visit was a public declaration that Jesus was indeed a divine child.

Question: But this event happened in Bethlehem - You grew up in Nazareth. What I’m hearing is that there were others who were also from Nazareth who went to Bethlehem with you.

God’s answer:

Compatriots
They relayed the story

Compatriot means “a fellow citizen or national of a country”. 14

Question: If this became known then why is it in several of the Gospels, it is written that there were comments made that you are just the son of the carpenter – example: The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” (John 6:41-42)

God’s answer:

old news
It died down.
