And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. The unbelief of the Nazarenes is the condition that prevented many mighty works — not because Jesus lacked the power but because unbelief is the closed-soil condition that cannot receive the seed. Mark 6:5–6 adds that Jesus was amazed at their unbelief. The chapter that began with the parable of the sower ends with a demonstration of the path-soil condition: hard ground, seed snatched away, no harvest.
