They said, “How does he know so much? How come he can do powerful things? He’s nobody special. We know him. He grew up here, in this town. His mother, Mary, lives here, with his brothers, James, Joses, Judas and Simon, as well as his sisters. His job here is to make things with wood.” So those Nazareth people got angry, and they wouldn’t take any notice of him.

Mark 6:2 Summary

This verse shows that Jesus was an amazing teacher who had a deep understanding of God's wisdom. The people who heard Him were astonished and wondered where He got His ideas, as seen in Mark 6:2. Jesus' teaching was not just about sharing information, but about sharing God's love and power, as seen in John 3:16. By studying Jesus' teaching and following His example, we can experience the same kind of amazement and wonder that the people in the synagogue did, and we can learn to live a life that is pleasing to God, as seen in Matthew 22:37-40.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why were the people in the synagogue astonished by Jesus' teaching?

The people were astonished because Jesus' teaching showed a depth of wisdom and understanding that they had not seen before, and they wondered where He got His ideas, as seen in Mark 6:2, and this is similar to the reaction of the people in Matthew 7:28-29 who were also amazed at His teaching.

What kind of wisdom did Jesus have that amazed the people?

Jesus had a wisdom that was given to Him by God, as stated in Mark 6:2, and this is consistent with the Bible's teaching that God gives wisdom to those who ask for it, as seen in James 1:5.

How did Jesus' miracles contribute to the people's amazement?

Jesus' miracles were a demonstration of His power and authority, and they helped to authenticate His teaching, as seen in Mark 6:2 and also in Acts 2:22 where it says that Jesus was accredited by God through miracles, wonders, and signs.

What can we learn from the people's reaction to Jesus' teaching in this verse?

We can learn that Jesus' teaching is still able to astonish and amaze people today, and that we should approach His teaching with humility and a willingness to learn, as seen in Matthew 11:25 where Jesus says that His teaching is revealed to those who are humble and willing to learn.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can experience the same kind of amazement and wonder at Jesus' teaching that the people in the synagogue did?
  2. How can I cultivate a deeper understanding of Jesus' wisdom and teaching in my own life?
  3. What are some miracles or works of God that I have seen in my life or in the lives of others that demonstrate Jesus' power and authority?
  4. How can I apply the lessons of this verse to my own relationships and interactions with others, especially in my own community or family?
  5. What are some ways that I can humble myself and become more receptive to Jesus' teaching, as seen in Matthew 11:25?

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 6:2

2 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? Ver. 2.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 6:2

(2) Many hearing him.—The better MSS. give, “the many,” i.e., the majority of those who were present. Such mighty works.—As the Evangelist notes in Mark 6:5 that no mighty work had been done in Nazareth, these must refer to what had been reported there.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Mark 6:2

Verse 2. Were astonished] επιτῃδιδαχῃαυτου, at his doctrine, or teaching. This is added by the Codex Bezae and eight others, later Syriac, Armenian, Vulgate, and all the Itala.

Cambridge Bible on Mark 6:2

2. he began to teach in the synagogue] For his former visit here see Luke 4:6 sq. The conduct of His hearers on this occasion did not betray the frantic violence exhibited at His first visit. mighty works] Rather, powers. This is one of the four names given by the Evangelists to the miracles which the Lord was pleased to work while incarnate here on earth. They are called: (á) “Wonders,” a term never used alone, but always in conjunction with other names. They are continually styled “signs and wonders,” or “signs” or “powers” alone, but never “wonders” alone. By this word the effect of astonishment, which the work produces on the beholder, is transferred to the work itself. The word only occurs once in St Mark, in Mark 13:22, and there it is in conjunction with “signs.” (â) “Signs,” as being tokens and indications of something beyond themselves, of the near presence and working of God, the seals and credentials of a higher power. The word is an especial favourite with St John, though in our Version “sign” too often gives place to the vaguer “miracle,” to the great detriment of the true meaning and force of the word. It occurs three times in St John, twice in St Mark 16:17; Mark 16:20 alone, and once in conjunction with “wonders,” Mark 13:22. (ã) “Powers,” that is of God, coming into and working in this world of ours. As in the “wonder” the effect is transferred and gives a name to the cause, so here the cause gives its name to the effect. The word occurs four times in St Mark: Mark 5:30 (A. V. virtue), Mark 6:2; Mark 6:14; Mark 9:39. In our Version it is rendered sometimes “wonderful works” (Matthew 7:22), sometimes “mighty works” (Matthew 11:20; Mark 6:14; Luke 10:13), and still more frequently “miracles” (Acts 2:22; Acts 19:11; Galatians 3:5), thus doing away with a portion of its force. (ä) “Works.” This is a significant term very frequently used by St John. With him miracles are the natural form of working for Him, whose Name is Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6), and Who therefore doeth “works of wonder.” Comp. John 6:28; John 7:21; John 10:25; John 10:32; John 10:38; John 14:11, &c. See Abp. Trench on the Parables, Introd.
