Context of Mark 6:3

1Jesus left that place and went to his hometown. His disciples followed him. 2When the day of rest—a holy day, came, he began to teach in the synagogue. He amazed many who heard him. They asked, “Where did this man get these ideas? Who gave him this kind of wisdom and the ability to do such great miracles? Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they took offense at him. 4But Jesus told them, “The only place a prophet isn’t honored is in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.” 5He couldn’t work any miracles there except to lay his hands on a few sick people and cure them.

Commentaries on Mark 6:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Is not this the carpenter - Among the ancient Jews, every father was bound to do four things for his son. To circumcise him. To redeem him. To teach him the law. To teach him a trade. And this was founded on the following just maxim: "He who teaches not his son to do some work, is as if he taught him robbery!" It is therefore likely that Joseph brought up our Lord to his own trade. Joses - Several good MSS. read , Joset, and one, with several versions…Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-4The people of Nazareth saw Jesus only as a carpenter (literally craftsman). He is just a carpenter, the son of Mary: Calling Jesus the son of Mary instead of the son of Joseph likely means Joseph had died by then. brother … his sisters: See study note on 3:31–35.
