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.

Matthew 13:54

Is not this the carpenter's son? (oux outov estin o tou tektwnov uios). The well-known, the leading, or even for a time the only carpenter in Nazareth till Jesus took the place of Joseph as the carpenter. What the people of Nazareth could not comprehend was how one with the origin and environment of Jesus here in Nazareth could possess the wisdom which he appeared to have in his teaching (edidasken). That has often puzzled people how a boy whom they knew could become the man he apparently is after leaving them. They knew Joseph, Mary, the brothers (four of them named) and sisters (names not given). Jesus passed here as the son of Joseph and these were younger brothers and sisters (half brothers and sisters technically).
