Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
54 aWhen He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?  
55 aIs this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And bHis brothers cJames, Joses, Simon, and Judas?  
56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”
57 So they awere offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, b“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”  
58 Now aHe did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Barnes' Notes
<< Matthew 13:53   Matthew 13:55 >>


Matthew 13:54

Into his own country - That is, into Nazareth. Mark, who has also recorded this Mark 6:1-6, says that it took place on the Sabbath. It was common for our Saviour to speak in the synagogues. Any Jew had a fight to address the people, if called on by the minister; and our Saviour often availed himself of the right to instruct the people and declare his doctrines. See Matthew 4:23.
