He left there and came to his homeland, accompanied by his disciples. On the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue and many who heard him wondered, saying, ‘Where did all this come from? What wisdom has been given him and what great things are done with his hands! Is this not the carpenter, Mary's son, brother to James, Joses, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?’ They were offended by him, as Jesus told them that a prophet did not go unrecognized except in his homeland, among his relatives and in his own house. And he was unable to do any great deed there, except that he laid his hands on some of the sick and healed them, while wondering over their mistrust.
