ings? and what is the wisdom given to him,
that even such miracles are done by his hands? (3)Is not this the
carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and Judah
and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended
at him. (4)Then said Jesus unto them, A prophet is not without honour,
save in his native place, and among his relations, and in his own
family. (5)And he could not do there any miracle, except that laying
his hands on a few sick persons he cured them. (6)And he marvelled at
their infidelity.

And he went about the villages around, teaching. (7)And called the
twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority
