Mark 6:1-6
Chapter 6
1
In the Synagogue of Nazareth
Leaving that place, Jesus went back to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.2
When the Sabbath arrived, he began teaching in the synagogue, and most who listened were amazed. But they asked:
“Where did this man get all these? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands!
3
Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?”
So they took offense at him.
4
And Jesus said to them:
“Prophets are despised only in their own country, among their relatives and in their own family.”
5
And he could not work many miracles there; instead, he only healed a few sick people by laying his hands on them.
6
He was amazed at their unbelief. Jesus then traveled through the villages, teaching.
