And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
Mark 6:2 — KJV
Sabbath day. As upon the previous visit (Luke 4:16).
In the synagogue. As upon the previous occasion (see on Luke 4:16). For a description of a Jewish synagogue and of the synagogue service see pp. 56, 57.
Astonished. Evidently it seemed incredible to the people of Nazareth that One who had lived among them could be the Son of God.
This man. Literally, “this [fellow],” an expression often denoting contempt.
What wisdom is this? See on Isa. 11:2, 3; 50:4. Neither the Jewish leaders nor the townspeople of Nazareth appear to have thought of denying the infinitely superior intelligence, understanding, and wisdom of Jesus. It was altogether too obvious; in fact, it was this that troubled them.
Even such mighty works. See p. 208. The people of Nazareth could not deny the great miracles Jesus wrought any more than they could deny His wisdom. Whether He taught or worked miracles, they were constrained to admit that “he hath done all things well” (ch. 7:37).
