(77) Jesus Returns to Nazareth
Matthew 13:54-58, Mark 6:1-6
[A]He left there and went to His own country, followed by His disciples. When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, this gift of wisdom, that even mighty works are done by His hands? [B]Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?” “Yes,” others asked, “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers, James, Joses, Simon, Judas, and His sisters, aren’t they all with us?”
And they were offended at Him, and asked again where did He get all these things. [C]But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is respected everywhere, except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
[D]And He could not do any great work there, except for the few sick folks He laid His hands on and healed. [E]Yes, because of their unbelief, He did not do many mighty works in that place. [F]And He marvelled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages, teaching.

Matthew 13:54-58, KJV
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. 58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Mark 6:1-6, KJV
And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
