Interwoven Gospels Now Jesus, having crossed over again in the boat to the other side, came unto His own city. And when Jesus returned, a great multitude was gathered to Him and welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him by the sea. And He went forth from thence and cometh into His own country, and His disciples follow Him. And when the Sabbath came, He began to teach them in their synagogues, so that many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Whence hath this man these things?" and "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that even such deeds of power are done by His hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of the carpenter, Joseph? Is not His mother called Mary? Are not James and Joseph and Simon and Judas His brothers? And His sisters, are they not with us? Whence then hath this Man all these things?" And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house." And He was not able to do any deeds of power there, on account of their want of faith; except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He wondered at their unbelief.
