Matthew 13:53-58

Living Bible

^53-54 When Jesus had finished giving these illustrations, he returned to his hometown, Nazareth in Galilee,^[a] and taught there in the synagogue and astonished everyone with his wisdom and his miracles.

⁵⁵ “How is this possible?” the people exclaimed. “He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary his mother and his brothers—James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. ⁵⁶ And his sisters—they all live here. How can he be so great?” ⁵⁷ And they became angry with him!

Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country, and among his own people!” ⁵⁸ And so he did only a few great miracles there, because of their unbelief.
