Haha, this is now the only scene I’ve ever watched from that movie, and I’m gonna tell myself that its about his passion for carpentry.
Lol yea. Thanks to that it’s canon.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.
Type into Google “did Jesus in…”
And it immediately completed “did Jesus invent the table.”
What the absolute fuck.
Thread about this from the year the movie came out:

Just casually writing him like Marty McFly.
“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it.”
… Were tables shorter back then?
Most were, in the mid east, Asia, even Rome, etc. People would eat on short tables while sitting on the ground and reclining on pillows.
Sounds much nicer, actually.
Greater risk of being crop dusted
You might like a kotatsu table! It’s a table with a blanket built in and a heater underneath! Peak cozy.
The amount of support you can manufacture for your lower back is top notch. I sometimes sit on the floor with padding and I’m in my late 30s.

Old person detected
He needed it to pose for a picture with the boys.
He was a carpenter
People like to interpret things with a modern lense. The translation of his job title might be carpenter, and people then go “ok, what does a carpenter do nowadays - builds chairs and tables, right”. But the word being translated is more aking to “builder”, a construction carpenter, a mason, something along those lines.
In German, those professions actually have different names. The furniture maker is a Schreiner or Tischler (lit. “tablerer”), while the builder is called Zimmermann (lit. “room man”).
The German bible correctly identifies Jesus as a Zimmermann.
room man
German is fucking hilarious if you don’t speak it.
Oh so that’s what that Nina Simone song was about
