Matthew 13:52-58

52 Then Jesus said to them, "So every teacher of the law who has been taught about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house. He brings out both new things and old things he has saved."
53 When Jesus finished teaching with these stories, he left there.
54 He went to his hometown and taught the people in the synagogue, and they were amazed. They said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and this power to do miracles?
55 He is just the son of a carpenter. His mother is Mary, and his brothers are James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
56 And all his sisters are here with us. Where then does this man get all these things?"
57 So the people were upset with Jesus. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his hometown and in his own home."
58 So he did not do many miracles there because they had no faith.
