Mateo 13:56

56 Todas sus hermanas viven aquí mismo entre nosotros. ¿Dónde aprendió todas esas cosas?».

Mateo 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.

Mateo 13:56 In-Context

54 Regresó a Nazaret, su pueblo. Cuando enseñó allí en la sinagoga, todos quedaron asombrados, y decían: «¿De dónde saca esa sabiduría y el poder para hacer milagros?».

55 Y se burlaban: «No es más que el hijo del carpintero, y conocemos a María, su madre, y a sus hermanos: Santiago, José,
Simón y Judas.

56 Todas sus hermanas viven aquí mismo entre nosotros. ¿Dónde aprendió todas esas cosas?».

57 Se sentían profundamente ofendidos y se negaron a creer en él.
Entonces Jesús les dijo:

58 Por lo tanto, hizo sólo unos pocos milagros allí debido a la incredulidad de ellos.
