Mark 6:1-6

1Jesus left there and came to His hometown [Nazareth]; and His disciples followed Him.

2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many who listened to Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things [this knowledge and spiritual insight]? What is this wisdom [this confident understanding of the Scripture] that has been given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

3Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are His sisters not here with us?” And they were [deeply] offended by Him [and their disapproval blinded them to the fact that He was anointed by God as the Messiah].

4Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor (respect) except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”

5And He could not do a miracle there at all [because of their unbelief] except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6He wondered at their unbelief. And He was going around in the villages teaching.
