Not only did they not believe, but they even took offence at Jesus, His word and His deeds

Wherever Jesus goes, "faith and miracles" are inseparable. Miracles are the signs of what He is sent to do, that is, to bring humanity back to God by freeing them from the shackles that keep them away from God. Miracles are also Jesus' answers to those who believe: "Your faith has saved you...". (Mk 5,34).
