馬可福音6:1-6

6:1 耶穌離開那裡，來到自己的家鄉；門徒也跟從他。
6:2 到了安息日，他在會堂裡教訓人。眾人聽見，就甚希奇，說：「這人從哪裡有這些事呢？所賜給他的是甚麼智慧？他手所做的是何等的異能呢？
6:3 這不是那木匠嗎？不是馬利亞的兒子雅各、約西、猶大、西門的長兄嗎？他妹妹們不也是在我們這裡嗎？」他們就厭棄他（厭棄他：原文是因他跌倒）。
6:4 耶穌對他們說：「大凡先知，除了本地、親屬、本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」
6:5 耶穌就在那裡不得行甚麼異能，不過按手在幾個病人身上，治好他們。
6:6 他也詫異他們不信，就往周圍鄉村教訓人去了。

 

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. ² When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? ³ Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,^[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” ⁵ He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. ⁶ He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

    主耶穌說的沒有錯：「大凡先知，除了本地、親屬、本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」

 

    也因為耶穌在家鄉沒有受到當有尊重，就在那裡不得行甚麼異能，不過按手在幾個病人身上，治好他們。他也詫異他們不信，就往周圍鄉村教訓人去了。

 

    因此，我們盼望從主耶穌得著賜福，我們一定要有敬畏和信靠的心，不然就會像主耶穌的鄉親一樣，與恩典擦身而過！
