Commentary
Mark 6 is a chapter that focuses on the ministry of Jesus and the response of the people to His teachings. In this chapter, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth and is rejected by the people there. He then sends out the twelve disciples to preach the gospel and perform miracles. They are successful in their mission, but when they return, Jesus is concerned about the people's lack of faith. He then goes to the nearby towns of Bethsaida and Chorazin, where He performs more miracles and teaches the people.
