Mark 6:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:1

And he went out from thence
From Capernaum;

and came into his own country;
or "city", as the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, the city of Nazareth; so called because it was the place where Christ was conceived, and where he was educated; for which he had a regard, and was willing it should partake of the benefit of his doctrine and miracles:

and his disciples follow him;
as they did wherever he went; and which is a true characteristic of a disciple of Jesus.

3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.

5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick persons, and healed [them].
