Mark 6:4

Read in context

Mark 6:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
