okay so we know about jesus when he’s a baby, and jesus when he’s an adult, but does the bible ever mention his rebellious teenager years?
‘jesus, go feed the donkey.’
‘yOU’RE NOT MY REAL FATHER’the ground shakes a little, and a voice comes down from the sky
‘do what your stepfather says you little shit’
Actually, yes, those stories are in the Infancy Gospels of Thomas. The Catholics held on to them, even though they didn’t put them in the Bible because the provenance wasn’t solid enough for them to be comfortable with it.
It does in fact include such delights as Joseph grabbing Jesus by the ear after he zaps his teacher with a curse, and making him apologize.
