GOSPEL READING: MARK 6:1-6
The people were prejudiced against him. They heard all the wisdom he spoke and they witnessed all the miracles but they could not accept him as someone because they knew that he had only a home-education. He had not studied under any famous scholars and he had not travelled around to have had different education and experience. They were the eye witnesses of his carpentry work.
He was a home bred man and his home was not in any way seat of wisdom and learning. His relations were all ordinary people and they were all there with them. They looked upon him with contempt. They did not accept his teaching. This would have been worse if he had no relations there. (We do not know where this one is from Jn 9:29)
மக்கள் அவரைப்பற்றி தவறான எண்ணம் கொண்டிருந்தார்கள் அவர் பிறந்து வளர்ந்ததை அறிந்திருந்தார்கள். அவர் படித்தது> அவர் செய்த தொழில்> அவருடைய உறவினர்கள் அனைத்தையும் அறிந்திருந்தார்கள். அதனால் அவருடைய ஞானத்தையும்> அவருடைய செயல்களையும் அவர்களால் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ள முடியவில்லை.
