Matthieu 13:56

56 et ses soeurs ne sont-elles pas toutes parmi nous? D'où lui viennent donc toutes ces choses?

Matthieu 13:56 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:56

And his sisters
Whose names, according to Epiphanius {b}, were Mary and Salome; whom he supposes were the daughters of Joseph, by a former wife; but rather of Alphaeus or Cleophas.

Are they not all with us?
Lived in the same town with them, were well known by them, and familiar with them.

Whence then hath this man all these things?
His wisdom and his mighty works; for since he had not them from any of their schools, and nurseries of learning, from their learned doctors and wise men; and could not have received them from his parents, and near relations, they could not devise from whence he should have them.

Matthieu 13:56 In-Context

54 S'étant rendu dans sa patrie, il enseignait dans la synagogue, de sorte que ceux qui l'entendirent étaient étonnés et disaient: D'où lui viennent cette sagesse et ces miracles?

55 N'est-ce pas le fils du charpentier? n'est-ce pas Marie qui est sa mère? Jacques, Joseph, Simon et Jude, ne sont-ils pas ses frères?

56 et ses soeurs ne sont-elles pas toutes parmi nous? D'où lui viennent donc toutes ces choses?

57 Et il était pour eux une occasion de chute. Mais Jésus leur dit: Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans sa patrie et dans sa maison.

58 Et il ne fit pas beaucoup de miracles dans ce lieu, à cause de leur incrédulité.
