Mark 6:1

tn Grk “synagogue, so that they.” Here ὥστε (Jwste) has not been translated. Instead a new sentence was started in the translation.

tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

sn Jesus’ hometown (where he spent his childhood years) was Nazareth, about 20 miles (30 km) southwest of Capernaum.
