SECTION XLIII.

MARK Chap. VI. Ver. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

MATTH. Chap. XIII. Ver. 54, 55, 56, 57, 58.

CHRIST at Nazaret, and offence taken at him.

IT is said by Matthew, that when Jesus returned back out of the land of the Gadarens, he came into his own City, Matth. 9. 1. that is, to Capernaum, where he himself dwelt, and Matthew, and Jairus; and the three last Sections relate stories done in their three houses: Now Mark saith, that from thence he went out and came into his own Country, that is to Nazareth: which title is used of that City again, John 4. 44.

In that Synagogue he had been abused a good while ago, and his life endangered, Luke 4. 29. and thither he is come now to try them again, and finds not much better enter∣tainment then before, but only not so full of danger: therefore he did not many great works there because of their unbelief, which Mark uttereth, He could do no mighty works there ver. 5. which meaneth not any want of power, but it relateth to his will, and to the rule by which he went in doing his works: such another phrase see Gen 19. 22.

When it is said by the same Evangelist, He marveled at their unbelief: it meaneth not, that he marvelled because they had not saving faith, but he marvelled because they belie∣ved no more then they did.
