Jesus comes to the synagogue in Nazareth and begins to teach. The initial reaction of being ‘astounded’ to such wisdom, gives way to more negative comments which are personal in nature.

One would never understand why the ‘son of the town’ who has such wisdom, would not be celebrated? But then again human beings are fickle!
