CommentBedePublic domainMark 6:1–6

He means by His country, Nazareth, in which He was brought up. But how great the blindness of the Nazarenes! they despise Him, Who by His words and deeds they might know to be the Christ, solely on account of His kindred.

It goes on: “And when the sabbath day was come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing Him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?”

By wisdom is meant His doctrine, by powers, the cures and miracles which He did.

It goes on: Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?”
