Christ and home

[askandanswer]

 

Did Jesus have a home? Matthew 8:20 (foxes have holes, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head) suggests that He did not, but the footnote to Mark 2:1 suggests that He did have a home, in Capernaum, and John 1:38-39 indicates that Christ invited two of John’s disciples to His home. My guess is that in His early ministry, Christ lived at home, but once He began His ministry, as with some of the early missionaries of the church who served for three years at a stretch, away from home, He had “not where to lay his head.” There’s quite a difference between being homeless, which is sometimes how I’ve heard Matthew 8:20  interpreted, and leaving, or giving up one’s home to engage in missionary work.

No clue. Its probably safe to say that he didnt own one, but thats assumption (an old one).

I think he was probably speaking figuratively, meaning that there was nowhere he could truly rest. His whole existence was one of service to others.
