6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.
6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.
6 He couldn't get over their stubbornness. He left and made a circuit of the other villages, teaching.
6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
6 And he was amazed at their unbelief. Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 6:6
Commentary on Mark 6:1-6
(Read Mark 6:1-6)
Our Lord's countrymen tried to prejudice the minds of people against him. Is not this the carpenter? Our Lord Jesus probably had worked in that business with his father. He thus put honour upon mechanics, and encouraged all persons who eat by the labour of their hands. It becomes the followers of Christ to content themselves with the satisfaction of doing good, although they are denied the praise of it. How much did these Nazarenes lose by obstinate prejudices against Jesus! May Divine grace deliver us from that unbelief, which renders Christ a savour of death, rather than of life to the soul. Let us, like our Master, go and teach cottages and peasants the way of salvation.
