I really liked your concept and your summary drew me in. But I didn't see any steampunk motifs in this chapter other than a quick mention of metal. Perhaps Yeshua should've been a blacksmith rather than a carpenter. As for Yeshua himself, he didn't seem very messianic. He seemed lost. Pls don't give this story up. Writing is laborious. Keep at it! You obviously have the ability and passion. Good luck.

Just like I said on the first ch. I loved this one too! Just one thing, this chapter is present tense, right? And in Israel? (I think you had to change the name, maybe?) Anyway, I throughly enjoyed it and I hope you write more!

I really like this! I loved the way you portrayed the feeling to the reader and how you described the charecters. Great job!
