And he went out from there and came into
his home-town (where he grew up since a boy),
with his disciples following, as do
disciples of a Rabbi, it's their joy.
And having come the Sabbath, he began
to teach in synagogue, and heaps on hear-
ing were astonished saying: "To this man,
has come all this (with wisdom too), from where?"
And "What's this wisdom, given to this one,
that miracles are even done by his..
his hands, those of the carpenter, the son
of Mary, brother of James, Joe, Judas,
and Simon. Aren't his sister's here with us?"
And thus they took offence at him, the clowns.
And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is
not without honour; ‘cept in his hometown,
and in his fam’ly, and in his household."
And there he could do none, no works of pow’r
at all, except he healed a few we’re told
- sick folk, that’s when he’d laid hands on the(m/ir brow?).
And though at times he marvelled at God’s good-
-ness; knowing now the folk that we’d become;
he’s rarely then amazed at what folk would
mess, curse, or bless, because he wasn’t dumb.
And this is one of those few times he was
amazed, or marvelled, when he met the fact
within humanity, and that’s because
of anti-faith! (Is that just faith that lacked?)
1 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσιν
συναγωγῇ, καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες· πόθεν τούτῳ
ταῦτα, καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν
Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωσῆτος καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Σίμωνος; καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ ὧ
ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν
