Gospel
1Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2When 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, that he even does miracles! 3Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
4Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6And he was amazed at their lack of faith.
Reaction
This is a sign that Jesus is not yet well known to everyone. Or maybe people are just ignorant that they didn't know that their savior is already in front of them. This is also happening in simpler situations in our time. I see children, teens and even adults that are not giving respect when they are close to the church or even just have a little shame when they are doing something wrong. We should not be like this because Jesus served us with respect and we should do the same for him and the Lord.
