This passage, which recounts the story of Jesus&#8217; rejection in Nazareth, would resonate with readers who know the sting of rejection, especially from those closest to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-focus-of-the-passage-and-jesus-character\">Key Focus of the Passage and Jesus\u2019 Character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth. The focus is on how&nbsp;<strong>familiarity blinds people to truth<\/strong>. Jesus shows humility, persistence, and compassion even in the face of disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scripture-mark-6-1-6-nasb\">Scripture: Mark 6:1\u20136 (NASB)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Jesus went out from there and\u00a0<em>came to His hometown<\/em>; and His disciples followed Him.

Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?\u201d And they took offense at Him. Jesus said to them, \u201cA prophet is not dishonored except in his hometown and among his own relatives, and in his own household.\u201d And He could not do any miracle there except that He\u00a0<em>laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.<\/em>And He was amazed at their unbelief.
