Context
The Rejection at Nazareth
1 Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples. 2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?…

Jesus went on from there
This phrase indicates a transition in Jesus' ministry. Prior to this, Jesus had been performing miracles and teaching in various regions, including the healing of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. This movement signifies the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, as He traveled throughout Galilee and beyond, spreading His message. It reflects the fulfillment of His mission to preach the Kingdom of God to all, as seen in Luke 4:43.

and came to His hometown
Jesus' hometown is Nazareth, a small village in Galilee. Nazareth was not highly regarded, as reflected in Nathanael's question in John 1:46, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" This visit to Nazareth is significant because it highlights the fulfillment of prophecy that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). It also sets the stage for the rejection Jesus would face from those who knew Him from His youth, illustrating the theme of a prophet not being honored in his own country (Mark 6:4).

accompanied by His disciples
The presence of His disciples underscores the role of Jesus as a rabbi or teacher, with His followers learning from His actions and teachings. This journey with His disciples also serves as a training ground for them, as they witness firsthand the challenges and opposition Jesus faces. The disciples' presence is crucial for the continuation of Jesus' mission after His ascension, as they would become the apostles who spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jesus
Central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is returning to His hometown.

2. Hometown
Refers to Nazareth, where Jesus grew up. This is significant as it sets the stage for the reception He receives from those who knew Him as a child.

3. Disciples
The followers of Jesus who accompany Him, witnessing His teachings and miracles, and learning from His example.
Teaching Points
Familiarity and Unbelief
Familiarity can breed contempt. Those who knew Jesus as a child struggled to accept His divine authority and mission.

Application: Reflect on areas in our lives where familiarity might hinder our faith or acceptance of truth.

The Role of Discipleship
The disciples accompany Jesus, learning from His experiences, both positive and negative.

Application: Consider how we can learn from Jesus' example in our own discipleship journey, especially in facing rejection or skepticism.

Rejection and Mission
Jesus' experience in Nazareth highlights the reality of rejection in the mission field.

Application: Prepare for and respond to rejection with grace and perseverance, following Jesus' example.

Prophetic Fulfillment
Jesus' rejection fulfills Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah.

Application: Trust in God's sovereign plan, even when facing opposition or misunderstanding.VI.

(1-6) And he went out from thence.--See Notes on Matthew 13:54-58.

His disciples follow him.--St, Matthew does not name this fact. As put by St. Mark it seems to imply that the disciples did not accompany their Master, but came subsequently.

Verse 1. - Our Lord now left the neighbourhood of Capernaum, and came into his own country, the district of Nazareth, where he had been, not born indeed, but brought up, and where his kinsfolk after the flesh still lived. Nazareth would be about a day's journey from Capernaum. This was not the first public exercise of his ministry at Nazareth. Of that and its results St. Luke gives us the account (Luke 4:16). It would seem reasonable to suppose that, after the fame which he had now acquired, he should again visit the place where he had been brought up. His sisters were still living there. St. Mark here again uses the historical present ἔρχεται, "he cometh," for which there is better authority than for ῆλθεν. His disciples follow him. Only the chosen three had been with him in the house of Jairus. The presence of the whole body of the disciples would be valuable at Nazareth.
