Hometown

We worked in KAIKOHE as missionaries from about the middle of 1981 until Christmas 2004. (United Maori Mission – UMM)

“Jesus

said to them,

‘Only in his hometown,

among his relatives and

his own house is

a prophet without honor.'” – Mark 6:4

“When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue,

Mark 6:2-3

Intr.:

and many who heard him were amazed.

1.    ‘Where did this man get these things?’ they asked.

‘What’s this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles!

2.    ‘Isn’t this the carpenter?

3.    Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simeon?

4.    Aren’t his sisters here with us?’

End:

And they took offence at him.”
