Mark 6:1-4

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

1 ¹He went away from there and came to ²his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

2 And ³on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and ⁴many 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 ⁵Is not this ⁶the carpenter, the son of Mary and ⁷brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? ” And ⁸they took offense at him.

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