Mark 6:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. Isn’t he just the carpenter we know—Mary’s son, the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And don’t his sisters still live here in town?” So they had a problem accepting him.

4. Then Jesus said to them, “People everywhere give honor to a prophet, except in his own town, with his own people, or in his home.”

5. Jesus was not able to do any miracles there except the healing of some sick people by laying his hands on them.

6. He was surprised that the people there had no faith. Then he went to other villages in that area and taught.

7. Jesus called his twelve apostles together. He sent them out in groups of two and gave them power over evil spirits.
