1 Jesus left and went home to Nazareth with his disciples. 2 On Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many of those who were listening were surprised.
"Where does he get these ideas?" they asked. "What’s this wisdom he’s been given? Where does he get the power to do miracles? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter, Mary’s son—the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Don’t his sisters live here among us?" They were offended and rejected him.6:3. "And rejected him"—implied in the idea of taking offense.
4 "A prophet is treated with respect except in his home town, among his relatives, and within his own family," Jesus told them. 5 The result was that Jesus could not do any miracles there, except to heal a few sick people. 6 He was amazed at their lack of trust.
Jesus traveled around the villages, teaching as he went.
