Mark 6:4

The Rejection at Nazareth

3Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.4Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”5So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
