Independence Day, 4th of July! Based on Mark 6:1-13 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach them in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. Jesus said, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a profit without honor." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith.
