Jésus mésestimé et impuissant dans sa patrie (Marc 6, 1-6)

J. Delorme
The narrative is presented as a conflict of interpretations, provoked by the arrival of Jesus in his own country. It is a kind of assessment of Jesus' Galilean activity according to Mark (teaching and power), in the form of a counterproof where the paradoxical figures of his identity emerge (a misunderstood sage, a prophet held in poor esteem, a miracle worker reduced to helplessness), unappreciated by his relatives in the name of what they know of his social origin and family background. The theological interest of the text (notions of scandal, faith and power; identity and origin of Jesus) is inseparable from its anthropological interest (resistance to the word, difficulty to acknowledge the presumably well known Other). as well as from its semiotic interest (interpretative and evangelical modality of the narrating operation of the text).
