2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
3Isn’ t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’ t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.
— Mark 6:2-3
