Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Was subject unto them - Behaved towards them with all dutiful submission. Probably his working with his hands at his reputed father' s business, is here also implied: see on Luke 2:41 (note). No child among the Jews was ever brought up in idleness. Is not this the carpenter? was a saying of those Jews who appear to have had a proper knowledge of his employment while in Joseph' s house. See the note on Matthew 13:55.
