Detailed explanation-1: -In those verses, Jesus and Joseph are called tektōn, which is most frequently rendered “carpenter” by Bible translators. In an excerpt published at Christian Post, Gallaty says that word is more accurately understood as craftsman or building.
Detailed explanation-2: -The book of Matthew echoes this scene but instead attributes the profession to Joseph, Jesus’ adopted father, with onlookers asking “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?” (Matthew 13:55). In either case, it would probably have been understood by the scriptures’ original audiences that, yes, Jesus worked in carpentry.
Detailed explanation-3: -An Archaeologist May Have Just Found Jesus’s Childhood Home in Nazareth. A group of nuns stumbled upon the site in the 1880s without knowing what they may have found. The 1st-century house at the Sisters of Nazareth site. It may have been the childhood home of Jesus Christ.
