Mark 6:1 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And he went out from there and he comes to his own country, and his disciples follow him. And when the Sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue.'

Jesus returned home to ‘His own country', the place where He had been brought up, and presumably visited His family if they were still living there. He had not forgotten them and He may well have thought of giving His disciples a rest. Not so much had happened in that area, and it was among the hills, so there were no crowds. But when the Sabbath came He went to the synagogue and was asked to speak there and His words were such that the people attending were amazed.

Mark 6:1

1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
