Expositor's Bible Commentary 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)

Jesus now traveled to his hometown of Nazareth. Even though he was born in Bethlehem, his family lived in Nazareth and he had been brought up there (Matthew 2:1, 23; Lk 2:1-7, 39-40). Jesus came here as a rabbi accompanied by his disciples.
