	~~The ''' Hometown Rejection''' was an episode in the [[Ministry of Jesus]], according to the Gospels of Mark (6:1–6a), Matthew (13:53-58), and Luke (4:16-30).~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	The rejection by his own hometown (i.e. [[Nazareth]], as explicitly stated in Luke) was one of the more upsetting blows in Jesus' ministry. Jesus' failure, as well as Jesus' reference to himself as a "prophet," are strong evidence of the historicity of the event. In its present form the episode served to reiterate the claim that the "authority" of Jesus was not unconditioned--miracles (and forgiven of sins) were not granted without "faith."

	The episode also provides some important details about the personal identity of Jesus. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is called "the carpenter," the "son of Mary," and "the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon" and of some unnamed "sisters." In Matthew Jesus becomes "the carpenter's son" and "Joseph's son" in Luke. The reference to the brothers and sisters (preserved in Matthew) is omitted in Luke, where the narrative is expanded with a detailed description of the preaching of Jesus in the synagogue.

	The episode is connected with the rejection of Jesus by his own family (see [[Jesus' True Relatives]]), and Jesus' repeated invitation to his disciples to abandon their own families (see [[Abandoning Your Family]]).

	~~====Chronological Framework====~~

	~~In Mark (and Matthew) the incident occurred only at a relatively late stage in the [[Ministry of Jesus]].~~

	In Luke instead it happened at the very beginning, immediately after his return from Perea. However, Luke' narrative also makes reference to what "Jesus did at [[Capernaum]]". It means that the story was originally connected with events following the beginnings of Jesus' preaching at [[Capernaum]].
