a bezoarIn the Bible, Jesus is not presented as a carpenter.
Everybody assumes he was one because they think, from one passage, his father Joseph was one. His "father" is a "tekton" which can mean builder or architect and could be God the architect of the universe.

In the Gospels, Joseph's occupation is mentioned only once. The Gospel of Matthew asks about Jesus:
Is not this the carpenter's son (ho tou tektōnos huios)?[46]
Joseph's description as a "tekton" (τέκτων) has been traditionally translated into English as "carpenter", but is a rather general word (from the same root that gives us "technical", "technology") [47] that could cover makers of objects in various materials. [48] The Greek term evokes an artisan with wood in general, or an artisan in iron or stone. [49] But the specific association with woodworking is a constant in Early Christian tradition; Justin Martyr (died c. 165)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wshklmgivhn2lyfljh67rtoe/bafkreicg3bdi2kwj2x4vmogiogrsnyxk4k7ju3d366rw5z7azbplbogrry "Professional life
