Mark 6:1-6

Teaching at Nazareth

1 ¹Jesus went out from there and came into ²His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

2 When the Sabbath came, He began ³to teach in the synagogue; and the ⁴many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

3 "Is not this ⁵the carpenter, ⁶the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not ⁷His sisters here with us?" And they took ⁸offense at Him.

4 Jesus said to them, "⁹A prophet is not without honor except in ¹⁰his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

5 And He could do no * miracle there except that He ¹¹laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And He wondered at their unbelief. ¹²And He was going around * the villages teaching.
