What Does Mark 6:1 Mean Jesus went on from there• Mark notes Jesus’ continual movement, showing His active ministry rather than settling in comfort. • Context: He leaves the scene of mighty works—raising Jairus’s daughter, healing the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5). The shift underscores that miracles never distracted Him from the broader mission (Luke 4:43). • Similar rhythm appears in Matthew 9:35, where Jesus “went through all the towns and villages.” Each departure foreshadows the Great Commission pattern of going (Matthew 28:19). • The deliberate “went on” models obedience to the Father’s timetable (John 5:19). and came to His hometown • Nazareth, the place where He had grown up (Matthew 2:23), receives another visit. Earlier, Nazareth had tried to throw Him off a cliff (Luke 4:28-30). Returning shows grace that offers a second chance—even to the skeptical. • Prophetic resonance: “He was despised and rejected by men” (Isaiah 53:3). His arrival sets the stage for Mark 6:4, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown….” • John 1:11 echoes the scene: “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.” • Coming home highlights both His true humanity (He had relatives, neighbors, memories) and His divine resolve to proclaim truth regardless of response. accompanied by His disciples • The Twelve see firsthand how rejection coexists with faithfulness—essential preparation for their own ministries (John 15:18-20). • Mark 3:14 says He appointed them “that they might be with Him.” Walking into a hostile environment together deepens their understanding of cost and courage (Matthew 10:24-25). • Their presence fulfills the principle of discipleship by example: learning does not happen only through lectures but through shared experience (Philippians 4:9). • Practical takeaway: Christian service often includes bringing others along, allowing them to watch and grow, even when outcomes appear discouraging. summary Mark 6:1 paints a concise yet vivid picture: Jesus deliberately leaves one fruitful area, returns graciously to a skeptical hometown, and brings disciples so they can witness steadfast obedience amid rejection. The verse models continual mission, courageous grace, and relational discipleship—all themes that shape faithful living today. 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.Parallel Commentaries ...
