The Gospel of the XIV Sunday B commented by Paolo Curtaz. At that time, Jesus came to his hometown and his disciples followed him. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard were amazed and said, "Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is this that has been given to him? And such mighty works as those performed by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And he was a scandal to them. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown and among his own relatives and in his own house." And he could not work any mighty works there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled at their unbelief. Jesus went through the surrounding villages, teaching.
