Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

Mark 6

1 b He went away from there and came to c his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And d on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and e many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 f Is not this g the carpenter, the son of Mary and h brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And i they took offense at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, j "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household." 5 And k he could do no mighty work there, except that l he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And m he marveled because of their unbelief. n And he went about among the villages teaching.
