Mar 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

I like to post a bit of something about the verse, that way it's not just a 'dry' posing -a simple cut and paste. Even if it's a cut and paste from a commentary, so beit, but it might give some more insight to both the poster and the readers.

And Jesus went back to his boyhood home of Nazareth and His disciples followed him back to his 'home town' where his mother Mary, father Joseph and the rest of his brothers and sister lived.

Mar 6:2 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?

From Robertson's Word Pictures:

Mar 6:2 καὶ γενομένου σαββάτου ἤρξατο ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ διδάσκειν· καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο, λέγοντες· πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα; καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γίνονται;

Began to teach (ērxato didaskein). As was now his custom in the synagogue on the sabbath. The ruler of the synagogue (archisunagōgos, see Mark 5:22) would ask some one to speak whensoever he wished. The reputation of Jesus all over Galilee opened the door for him. Jesus may have gone to Nazareth for rest, but could not resist this opportunity for service.
Whence hath this man these things? (Pothen toutōi tauta̱)., Whence these things to this fellow? They continued to be amazed (exeplēssonto, imperfect tense passive). They challenge both the apparent wisdom (sophia) with which he spoke and the mighty works or powers (hai dunameis) such as those (toiautai) coming to pass (ginomenai, present middle participle, repeatedly wrought) by his hands (dia tōn cheirōn). They felt that there was some hocus-pocus about it somehow and somewhere. They do not deny the wisdom of his words, nor the wonder of his works, but the townsmen knew Jesus and they had never suspected that he possessed such gifts and graces.

Mark 6:3:Is not this carpenter the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon?
And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Mar 6:4 But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own house."

My own views:
The people who are closest to Jesus, whom He grew up around only see Him as 'one of their own'--as a lowly carpenter, a worker of wood, a maker of tables. They are astounded at the works that He does and the teachings that He's able to give to them.

To me this is a very important verse (as are most all in the Bible)
So, I wanted to expound on it before I post the next verse, I mean after all, how hard is it to c&p a verse.

Mar 6:7 - And he called unto him the twelve,.... "His twelve disciples", as some copies read; whom he had before called by his grace, and had appointed and ordained them his apostles, but had not yet publicly sent forth; in order to which, he now called them to him, and gave them their commission, qualifications, and instructions:
and began to send them forth by two and two: he first sent forth one couple, and then another; the reason of his sending them by pairs, was partly for the sake of company, and that they might be useful and assisting to one another; and partly to show their agreement in doctrine; and that they might be proper and sufficient witnesses of it, whereby it might be established; and the rather, being thus sent by pairs into different parts, their message would be the sooner dispatched, than if they had all went together:
and gave them power over unclean spirits; that is, to cast them out; as it is expressed in Mat_. 10:1; see Gill on Mat_10:1; and which is here added in the Syriac and Persic versions. Many things are omitted by this evangelist, which are mentioned by Matthew: he does not give us the names of the twelve apostles; the reason of that indeed may be, because they are related by him in Mar_3:16, and he did not choose to repeat them here: nor does he take any notice of the places where the apostles were to go, and where not; nor of the persons to whom, or not; as not into the way of the Gentiles, nor into any of the cities of the Samaritans, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel: nor does he say any thing of the subject matter of their ministry or what they had in charge to publish; as that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, or the Gospel dispensation: nor does he observe the several things they were to do in confirmation of their doctrine and mission; as healing the sick, cleansing lepers, raising the dead, and casting out devils: he only relates the directions given them with respect to their journey, in the following verses; the reason of all which seems to be, because he refers not to the same time as Matthew does, to their appointment and ordination; but to the time they were sent out, and proceeded on their journey.

Mar 6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
Mar 6:8 - And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey,.... To accommodate them in it, except those things after directed to:
save a staff only; a single one, for staves in the plural number are forbidden; see Gill on Mat_10:10;
no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse. Travellers used to put their bread, or any other sort of food into their scrips, and their money in their girdles; but the disciples were not allowed to carry either, because provision was to be made for them wherever they came at free cost, it being what their labour was worthy of; See Gill on Mat_10:9, Mat_10:10.

Mark 6:11

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor
hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off
the dust under your feet for a testimony
against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall
be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. Mark 6:15

Others said that it is Elias

John Gill's exposition of the Bible said:
This was the opinion, either of many of the Jews, who expected that Elias the Tishbite would come in person, before the coming of the Messiah; and thought by the appearance and wonderful works of Jesus, that he was now come: or of Herod's courtiers, who said this to divert him from his notion of John the Baptist, which they might perceive was very distressing to him; though the former seems rather to be the sense:
others said, that it is a prophet: or "the prophet", that was to come, whom Moses had spoken of, and the Jews expected; this was the opinion of others of them: or
as one of the prophets. The word

John Gill's exposition of the Bible said:
η, "or", is left out in some copies; and so it is in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; and then the sense is, this new prophet lately raised up, is as one of the old prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others; or one of them had risen up.

But when Herod himself had sent forth & laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Phillip's wife: For he had married her
