Matthew 13:53-58

Rejected at Nazareth

53 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables he went away from there.

54 And he came to his hometown [and] began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were amazed and said, "From where did this man [get] this wisdom and these miracles?

55 Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56 And are not all his sisters with us? From where then did this man [get] all these [things]?"

57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his [own] hometown and in his [own] household."

58 And he did not perform many miracles in that place because of their unbelief.
