Matthew 13:53-58

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵³ When Jesus had finished these parables, He left there.

Rejection at Nazareth

⁵⁴ He went to His hometown^(A) and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “How did this wisdom and these miracles come to Him?^{(B) 55} Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?^(C) Isn’t His mother called Mary, and His brothers James,^(D) Joseph,^[a] Simon, and Judas?^{(E) 56} And His sisters, aren’t they all with us? So where does He get all these things?” ⁵⁷ And they were offended by Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.”^{(F) 58} And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
