This very short Gospel is certainly not easy to understand and to comment. We have to remember that, after his Baptism, in Judea, and his 40-day fast, Jesus decided to return to Galilee, where he had grown up, and were he had lived with his family up to that time. The beginning of his ministry there were quite successful. Of course, everyone knew him in Nazareth; and when he began to preach in the Synagogue, people sai: "Is this not the carpenter, Joseph's son?" In Capharnaüm also, crowds of people came to listen to him and brought their sick, whom he cured. The crowds of ordinary, simple people, followed him. But the scribes and the Pharisees had already begun to voice their criticism. Now it is his own family that says : "enough is enough!".
