Mark 6:3
Jesus is identified as a carpenter, the son of Mary. It's assumed that he's an adult at the beginning of his ministry in Mark, so it would be logical that he had been a carpenter for that time. Mark is generally the most reliable Gospel, and the Markan editor has little motivation to obscure this detail...i'd consider it authentic.
