Matthew 13:53-58

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The Hometown People Are Astounded At Jesus, But Unbelieving

⁵³ And it came about that when Jesus finished these parables, He went-away from there. ⁵⁴ And having come into His hometown^[a], He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and saying “From where did this wisdom and the miracles come to this One? ⁵⁵ Is not this One the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Jude^[b]? ⁵⁶ And His sisters, are they not all with us? From where then did all these things come to this One?” ⁵⁷ And they were taking-offense^[c] at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without-honor except in his hometown and in his house”. ⁵⁸ And He did not do many^[d] miracles there because of their unbelief.
