Seorang nabi dihormati di mana-mana kecuali di tempat asalnya sendiri

 

Mrk 6:1	Kemudian Yesus berangkat dari situ dan tiba di tempat asal-Nya, sedang murid-murid-Nya mengikuti Dia.
Mrk 6:2	Pada hari Sabat Ia mulai mengajar di rumah ibadat dan jemaat yang besar takjub ketika mendengar Dia dan mereka berkata: "Dari mana diperoleh-Nya semuanya itu? Hikmat apa pulakah yang diberikan kepada-Nya? Dan mujizat-mujizat yang demikian bagaimanakah dapat diadakan oleh tangan-Nya?
Mrk 6:3	Bukankah Ia ini tukang kayu, anak Maria, saudara Yakobus, Yoses, Yudas dan Simon? Dan bukankah saudara-saudara-Nya yang perempuan ada bersama kita?" Lalu mereka kecewa dan menolak Dia.
Mrk 6:4	Maka Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Seorang nabi dihormati di mana-mana kecuali di tempat asalnya sendiri, di antara kaum keluarganya dan di rumahnya."
Mrk 6:5	Ia tidak dapat mengadakan satu mujizatpun di sana, kecuali menyembuhkan beberapa orang sakit dengan meletakkan tangan-Nya atas mereka.
Mrk 6:6	Ia merasa heran atas ketidakpercayaan mereka. (6-6b) Lalu Yesus berjalan keliling dari desa ke desa sambil mengajar.

RENUNGAN

Pada ayat ini Tuhan Yesus merasa tidak dihormati di daerah asalnya sendiri, di antara keluarga dan saudara - saudara nya karena mereka merasa mengenal Tuhan Yesus sebagai anak dari tukang kayu dan anak nya Bunda Maria yang pada saat itu seorang isteri tukang kayu. Sehingga banyak orang tidak percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus, karena mereka merasa Tuhan Yesus sebagai manusia biasa, tidak melihat Tuhan Yesus sebagai Tuhan penyelamat manusia

Oleh sebab itus sedikitlah mukjizat di sana, kalaupun ada beberapa penyembuhan dengan penumpangan tangan Tuhan Yesus. Akhirnya Tuhan Yesus pun merasa heran meninggal kan mereka dan mengajar di desa - desa.

DOA

Ya Tuhan Yesus aku percaya kepada Mu Ya Tuhan

Kuasa Mu begitu besar

Sertai aku selalu Ya Tuhan

agar aku berjalan benar di dalam Mu 

Sebab Engkaulah Tuhan dan penyelamat kami

Amen

ENGLISH 

**Mark 6:1-6**

1. Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples.

2. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?

3. Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

4. Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home."

5. He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

6. He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

**REFLECTION**

In this verse, the Lord Jesus felt dishonored in His own hometown, among His family and relatives, because they thought they knew Him as the son of a carpenter and the son of Mary, who was at that time a carpenter’s wife. Therefore, many people did not believe in the Lord Jesus, as they perceived Him as an ordinary man, not seeing Him as the Savior of mankind.

As a result, there were few miracles there, although there were some healings through the laying on of Jesus' hands. Eventually, the Lord Jesus felt amazed at their lack of faith, left them, and went to teach in the villages.

**PRAYER**

O Lord Jesus, I believe in You, O Lord

Your power is so great

Always be with me, O Lord

So that I walk rightly in You

For You are our Lord and Savior

Amen
