“And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?”
'Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he now say, "I have come down from heaven"?' — the objection is based on known parentage: Jesus is Joseph's son, therefore not from heaven. The rhetorical questions express incredulity that the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.
