A.T. Robertson Commentary Mark 6:1

"And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him." — Mark 6:1 (ASV)

Into his own country (εις την πατριδα αυτου). So Mt 13:54. There is no real reason for identifying this visit to Nazareth with that recorded in Lu 4:26-31 at the beginning of the Galilean Ministry. He was rejected both times, but it is not incongruous that Jesus should give Nazareth a second chance. It was only natural for Jesus to visit his mother, brothers, and sisters again. Neither Mark nor Matthew mention Nazareth here by name, but it is plain that by πατριδα the region of Nazareth is meant. He had not lived in Bethlehem since his birth.
