Bible Jerusalem: 1. Leaving that district, he went to his home town, and his disciples accompanied him. 2. With the coming of the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them were astonished when they heard him. They said, 'Where did the man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been granted him, and these miracles that are worked through him? 3. This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset and Jude and Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here with us?' And they would not accept him. 4. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is despised only in his own country, among his own relations and in his own house'; 5. and he could work no miracle there, except that he cured a few sick people by laying his hands on them. 6. He was amazed at their lack of faith. He made a tour round the villages, teaching.
Comment: Come Holy Spirit, guide us, please. May God have mercy on us for our lack of faith and we can see the progress of our brothers, as they have grown and how God continues to transform their hearts. I hopefully the word of God do no scandal us and we can receive it with love and humility.
