(A)And Jesus went out from there and *came into [a](B)His hometown; and His disciples *followed Him. And when the Sabbath came, He began (C)to teach in the synagogue; and (D)many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to this man, and such [b]miracles as these performed by His hands? Is this man not (E)the carpenter, (F)the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not (G)His sisters here with us?” And they were taking (H)offense at Him. And Jesus was saying to them, (I)A prophet is not without honor except in [c](J)his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.” And He could do no [d]miracle there except that He (K)laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He was marveling at their unbelief.

(L)And He was going around the villages teaching.
