Mark 6:1-6
Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying,“ Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

Luke 4:16-30
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:“ The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.And He began to say to them,“ Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said,“ Is this not Joseph’s son?”He said to them,“ You will surely say this proverb to Me,‘ Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’”Then He said,“ Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

Acts 28:17-28
And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them:“ Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death.But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation.For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”Then they said to him,“ We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you.But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word:“ The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,saying,‘ Go to this people and say:“ Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive;For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”’“ Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!”
