Question source
Mark
People in his hometown took offense, questioning his wisdom and works and referring to his family background (Mark 6:2–3). Jesus responded that a prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his relatives (Mark 6:4).
2When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3Isn`t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren`t his sisters here with us?" They were offended by him.
4Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."
