Mark 6:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² On the Sabbath day Jesus taught in the synagogue, and many people heard him. They were amazed and said, “Where did this man get this teaching? How did he get such wisdom? Who gave it to him? And where did he get the power to do miracles? ³ Isn’t he just the carpenter we know—Mary’s son, the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And don’t his sisters still live here in town?” So they had a problem accepting him.

⁴ Then Jesus said to them, “People everywhere give honor to a prophet, except in his own town, with his own people, or in his home.”
