Episode Details

Jesus continues to impress his listeners. They tried to grasp who and what he was. Today's gospel, however, tells us about his visit to Nazareth, where he met with some opposition. They did not give him any credence. They took offense at him. Furthermore, their excuse was that they were to be familiar with him. They grew up together. They played together. Furthermore, they thought they knew him very well. So, his teaching such doctrines and performing such miracles was mysterious to them. Where did he get this? They asked this question. Instead of exploring and investigating the matter, they took offense at him. They were closed to further learning. They were so stubborn that Jesus was not able to do more miracles there.
