He was amazed at their lack of faith." So yeah, help us understand, maybe just explain what all goes into making this a tricky passage.
9:06
Yes, this passage is very difficult and has been very difficult for the church throughout the centuries because by a plain reading, It's just telling us in English or in any language that because of unbelief, Jesus, who was fully divine and fully human, was not able to perform any miracles.
9:37
Therefore, this is a good stuff for liberal theologians like Bultmann and others.
9:45
They said, this is not the problem because he claimed to be divine, but he was not.
9:55
We believe, as the church has believed from the beginning, that Jesus was fully human, but fully divine.
10:04
And if we look at the passage, there are a number of written intentions and dynamics.
