Hi there! You are listening to Bold is… a women’s ministry podcast with the goal of helping you learn the Bible verse-by-verse. Did you know that we turned a year old on Tuesday? It’s true and to celebrate, we’ve decided that all our merch needed to include FREE shipping! This past year has been so exciting. We’ve learned a lot and we are looking forward to stepping up and making this next year even better, but today -- let’s learn a little something about Mark 6, shall we? INTRO If you are new here, welcome to the podcast! Our goal is to walk you through Scripture verse by verse, so we will read a section of the passage and then try to break it down for you. For a recap of what’s happening, please feel free to go back and listen to last week's episode. Groovy -- let’s get started. I am going to be reading from the (ESV) English Standard Version. This is the Word of God and is profitable for you: Jesus Rejected at Nazareth1He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching. Okay, Jesus went back to his hometown, which is Nazareth. On the sabbath, which was a Saturday, he went to the synagogue and began teaching. Now, these folks were astonished at what He was saying, but they were also confused. Remember, this was “little Jesus from down the street.” They were not convinced that He was the messiah they had been waiting on. Then, we get a glimpse into His family. We know that He had four brothers and at least two sisters. Which by the way -- although His family mostly thought He was crazy and tried to get Him to quit claiming to be God, two of His brothers ended up writing books in the New Testament. Check me -- Jude (called here Judas) and James. Check out the opening to their letters. So, to reexamine what we just learned -- Jesus was teaching, they weren’t having it, but this did not deter Jesus. He went about among the villages and kept teaching. Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. 10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

1He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon?

And he went about among the villages teaching.
