Matthew 13 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Resources » Commentaries » Matthew » Chapter 13 » exegesis

Jesus is again rejected at Nazareth.

Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbraid him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; they should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves, but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ's favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made our

peace with God.
