<p>2:12 <em>After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and brothers and disciples; and there they stayed for a few days</em>- &quot;Went down&quot; reflects the topography of the area, and is the kind of thing a genuine eyewitness like John would recall. The mention of His &quot;brothers&quot; being with Him could suggest that they initially followed Him, but then disbelieved in Him as the pressure got tougher (7:5); with James and Jude then returning to faith in Him after the resurrection. This meant that James and Jude had for a time left the faith; and yet were greatly used by the Lord in His early work in the church.&nbsp;</p>
