Mark tells THE (Real Ruler's) "Good-News". Chapter 6 [Pericope 32]

Pericope 32 - Famili-arity...disparity

---

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

αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ. 2καὶ γενομένου σαββάτου ἤρξατο διδάσκειν ἐν τῇ

συναγωγῇ, καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες· πόθεν τούτῳ

ταῦτα, καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν

χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι; 3οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τέκτων, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας καὶ ἀ

Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωσῆτος καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Σίμωνος; καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ ὧ

πρὸς ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ. 4καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ

ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν

αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ. 5καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο ἐκεῖ ποιῆσαι οὐδεμίαν δ εἰ

μὴ ὀλίγοις ἀρρώστοις ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐθεράπευσεν. 6καὶ ἐθαύμαζεν διὰ

τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν.  Mark 6:1-6a NA28
