“And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.”
Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples — the return to Nazareth follows the miracles of chapter 5 and will produce the sharpest contrast in the Gospel: maximum miracles elsewhere, minimum miracles at home. The hometown (patris, fatherland, native place) is Nazareth, where Jesus grew up and where his family still lives. The disciples' presence makes this a formal teaching visit rather than a private family trip — Jesus arrives in Nazareth with the public identity he has been developing throughout Galilee.
