Mark 6:2

On the next Jewish rest day, Jesus went to the Jewish meeting house and started to teach the people about God. A lot of people were really amazed when they heard his words and they said, “Hey, we know this man and we know where he comes from. His mother Mary lives here with his brothers James, Joses and Judas. And his sisters live here too. He just makes things with wood and stone. So where did he learn all these things about God? And who was his teacher? And how come he can do such powerful things for people?” The people in the meeting got really angry with Jesus and would not believe anything he said.
