Though Jesus thought it was important that people read the Old Testament the way he did. Many people did not.

Some people thought Jesus wasn't competent to teach

Some people would not hear him because he had not been trained to teach by any of the schools of the rabbis:

Mr 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

Some people would not hear him because he cared more for people than for pigs

Mr 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Mr 5:16 And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine.

Mr 5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
