Matthew 13:53-58

Christian Standard Bible

Rejection at Nazareth

⁵³ When Jesus had finished these parables, he left there. ⁵⁴ He went to his hometown^(A) and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?^{(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.

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.
