Mark 6: 1-6 - 'A prophet is only despised in his own country.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 500 (in Mary 'Ever-Virgin') - Against this doctrine the objection is sometimes raised that the Bible mentions brothers and sisters of Jesus. The Church has always understood these passages as not referring to other children of the Virgin Mary. In fact James and Joseph, “brothers of Jesus,” are the sons of another Mary, a disciple of Christ, whom St. Matthew significantly calls “the other Mary.” They are close relations of Jesus, according to an Old Testament expression.

- 699 (in 'The Hand') - The hand. Jesus heals the sick and blesses little children by laying hands on them (abbreviated)

- 2610 (in 'Jesus teaches us how to pray') -Just as Jesus prays to the Father and gives thanks before receiving his gifts, so he teaches us filial boldness: “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and you will.” Such is the power of prayer and of faith that does not doubt: “all things are possible to him who believes.” Jesus is as saddened by the “lack of faith” of his own neighbors and the “little faith” of his own disciples as he is struck with admiration at the great faith of the Roman centurion and the Canaanite woman.

0:00.0	Hi everyone.
0:11.9	Welcome back to our podcast, where we look at the gospel reading from today's Mass,
0:18.7	and we then look at the literal sense of the text. We provide an exegesis of what it
0:23.6	meant in its original context, which is a really useful way of what should be our foundation
0:28.7	for studying the Bible. Today we're up to Mark chapter 6 and we're looking at verse 1 to 6.
0:41.4	Jesus went to his hometown and his disciples accompanied him. With the coming of the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue and most of them
0:47.4	were astonished when they heard him. They said where did the man get all this? What is the
0:54.1	wisdom that has been granted him?
0:56.4	And these miracles that are worked through him.
0:59.8	This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joseph and Jude and Simon.
1:07.3	His sisters too, are they not here with us?
1:10.7	And they would not accept him.
1:13.5	And Jesus said to them,
1:14.6	A prophet is only despised in his own country,
1:18.7	among his own relations and in his own house.
1:22.4	And he could do no miracle there,
1:24.6	though he cured a few sick people by laying his hands on them.
1:28.9	He was amazed at their lack of faith.
1:34.3	So that's our passage today.
1:36.6	An interesting little account from the life of Jesus where his own hometown, Nazareth,
1:42.4	rejects him.
1:43.8	So in verse one here, he travels to Nazareth, his hometown, and he's coming from Copernum.
