Rejection at Nazareth
6:1 Now Jesus left that place and came to his hometown , and his disciples followed him .
6:2 When the Sabbath came , he began to teach in the synagogue . Many who heard him were astonished , saying , “Where did he get these ideas? And what is this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these miracles that are done through his hands ?
6:3 Isn’t this the carpenter , the son of Mary and brother of James , Joses , Judas , and Simon ? And aren’t his sisters here with us ?” And so they took offense at him .
6:4 Then Jesus said to them , “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown , and among his relatives , and in his own house .”
6:5 He was not able to do a miracle there , except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
