Jesus could not or did not do many miracles in his hometown?

Mark 5:

25 There was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, ... 28 she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”

Power resided in the physical person of Jesus.

34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

Faith could connect with that power.

Luke 6:

19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

Later, on the other hand, Jesus visited his hometown, Mark 6:

5 he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6a And he marveled because of their unbelief.

A parallel account in Matthew 13:

58 he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

Unbelief was the disconnect with that power. They did not plug into that power.

Jesus could not or did not do many miracles in his hometown?

Both are true. If they didn't believe, it would not work.

Another illustration happened when Peter saw Jesus walk on the water, Matthew 14:

28 Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

Peter had good faith.

30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.”

Peter shifted his focus and now his faith was in trouble.

31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

 

[St. SteVen]

Power resided in the physical person of Jesus.

Good topic, thanks.

In reference to your quote above...
I don't think that was the case. IMHO

John 8:28 NIV
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that
I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

Philippians 2:6 NIV
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

These verses do not contradict the statement:
Power resided in the physical person of Jesus.

Jesus used this power according to the will of the Father.

They believed in God but they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
It was their own unbelief that prevented them from being healed.
If they had had faith I do not believe Jesus would of withheld healing from them.
