About this episode

This episode discusses Jesus' inability to perform miracles in Nazareth due to the lack of faith from the townspeople.

MIRACLES — "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household". Jesus said this in Nazareth, where he was rejected by his family and neighbors. The people of his home town knew Jesus well, but they didn't believe who he was. They called him "the son of Mary" to reject his virgin birth and Messianic claims. Jesus was unable to perform miracles in Nazareth because of their lack of faith.  Hearing Jesus podcast available at https://amzn.to/3QLEpee   Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder books at https://amzn.to/3EnboTF   Gospel of Mark available at https://amzn.to/3X3m9Ba   ENJOY Ad-Free content, Bonus episodes, and Extra materials when joining our growing community on  https://patreon.com/markvinet  SUPPORT this channel by purchasing any product on Amazon using this FREE entry LINK https://amzn.to/3POlrUD (Amazon gives us credit at NO extra charge to you).
