We have so far seen Jesus speak and transform lives through scripture, sermons, compassion, and healing. But when Jesus.commands "This isn't going to happen... not today", and to see the people's response, shows an aspect of His authority which we knew he possessed but which was yet unseen in the series.
This episode also briefly shows a young Jesus with his earthly father, Joseph, with an object that we know will have some meaning shortly. The weight of the reality of what Jesus must do soon weighs very heavily on those close to him, and also on us, the viewers. What a very powerful episode.
