Reading for December 26th

Read Mark 6.1-6 (Mt 13.54-58; Lk 4.16-30) Rejection at home.
In verse 1 the hometown is likely Nazareth (see 1.9),
although Jesus and the twelve appear to be based in Capernaum (2.1).
In verse 3 carpenter (Gk., "tekton") is an artisan.
Joseph's fate is not recorded.
In verse 4 a proverbial saying.
In verse 5 lack of faith prevents miracles
(according to Mt 13.58, Jesus is unwilling, not unable).
