6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such {a} mighty works are wrought by his hands?
(a) The word signifies powers or virtues, by which are meant those wonderful works that Christ did which showed and set forth the virtue and power of his Godhead to all the world; Mt 7:22.

It becomes the followers of Christ to content themselves with the satisfaction of doing good, although they are denied the praise of it.

Let us, like our Master, go and teach cottages and peasants the way of salvation.
