Matthew 13:51-58

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Storehouse of Truth

⁵¹ “Have you understood all these things?”^[a]

“Yes,” they told Him.

⁵² “Therefore,” He said to them, “every student of Scripture^[b] instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who brings out of his storeroom what is new and what is old.”^{(A) 53} When Jesus had finished these parables, He left there.

Rejection at Nazareth

⁵⁴ He went to His hometown^(B) 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?^{(C) 55} Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?^(D) Isn’t His mother called Mary, and His brothers James,^(E) Joseph,^[c] Simon, and Judas?^{(F) 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.”^{(G) 58} And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
