Matthew 13:53-58

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,

54 ¹and coming to ²his hometown ³he taught them in their synagogue, so that ⁴they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

55 ⁵Is not this ⁶the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not ⁷his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

57 And ⁸they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, ⁹"A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household."

58 And he did not do many mighty works there, ¹⁰because of their unbelief.
