6 questions asked about Jesus in Nazareth as recorded in Mark 6

Mark 6;1-3

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked.

“What’s this wisdom that has been given him?

What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?

Isn’t this the carpenter?

Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon?

Aren’t his sisters here with us?”

And they took offence at him.
