Mar 6:2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?
Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
Mar 6:4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”
Mar 6:5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
Usually the first born son was given more honor and received the most encouragment. Imagine how the family of Jesus could have misunderstood this son of Mary and son of God who had no sins. Humans often gossip and see things wrong. There may have been jealousy and social unacceptance, especially when Jesus began his ministry at age thirty. He was thought to be a carpenter or builder. What do people say of us when we follow God? He's got religion? Jesus has more than religion, he is God the Son and he would be about his heavenly father's business.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
In spite of their unbelief, Jesus healed a few people.
Rom 5:6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom 5:7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die
Rom 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus deserves all honor and praise. Give him your respect. Believe in him and he will give you a new life and purpose.
